Generational Differences in the Workplace |
An Interview with Jennifer Deal, Yelizavetta Kofman, and Astri Von Arbin Ahlander
by Judi Casey and Karen Corday
Download Interview (PDF)
Casey: Jennifer, how did you get interested in studying the differences between generations at the workplace?
Deal: I actually started out having no interest in the topic at all! I thought it was much ado about nothing; in my opinion, age is much less important than what you can do and how well you do it. However, a friend of mine at work was on a team that was examining this question, and she asked me to attend a group meeting, as there was no researcher in the group and they needed one.

Work-Life Issues in Malta |
|
 |
Anna Borg |
Malta is a small island state located to the south of Sicily in the Mediterranean sea. It occupies an area of 316 square kilometers with a population of 408,000.
“Family friendly measures” have become buzz words in Maltese society. However, a close look at the female employment rates and the national birth rates may give an indication that the reconciliation of work with family continues to be elusive to great number of families. Both the female employment rate of 38.6% and the Total Fertility Rate (TFR) of 1.4, are below the EU average.
