Demographic diagnostics: Recent Episodes
David Klein
Demographics are the vital data pieces to create vibrant communities, businesses, retailers, churches and schools. This podcast is a look into changing demographics and how to understand your market and adjust.
The growing pressure to perform as a student lead to a major decrease in student employment, but increased behavioral health issues. The opportunity is still alive for student employment and activity, but will previous generations give them the chance?
People think K-12 is the same for each generation. Not even close. Look at how students use computers and have resources that most could never imagine. Previous generations wrote papers on historic events with limited library resources. Students now research breaking news and have instant resources. The information overload and bullying epidemic created a behavioral health monster that is leading to school violence and suicides. Schools are evolving just as business does. K-12 schools are constantly raising the future leaders and citizens.
An easy intro into regional demographics is a TV series how the states got their shapes, often referred to as how the states were made. The TV series is based off two books that explore different demographic pods and how that affects everything from words to foods.
This is a brief episode on spending and equity habits across generations. Generation Y and Z may see an entire different future because of the economies, student loan debt, and day care expenses. How does this change housing, cars, and banking? Is equity as important as people think?
Like other segments, housing is already seeing shift in our people live. The for sale and rental markets are changing the face of communities across the country. The aging boomers will have a direct influence on the housing market for decades.
It's not just Generation Z that is online shopping, all generations are. This is a look at the major four major generation shopping habits, and a look at how to improve your retail.
There are many groups that understand demographics much more than the US Census or state government. Marketing companies and social media platforms are constantly evolving their data around changes. Should demographers start looking at other ways to group people? A decade seems more more user friendly and in line with other groups.
What is a generation? Is the definition fair and correct? Demographers define generations as a grouping up to 30 years, but that time period waffles some when looking at Generation Y and others. What changes during generational periods cause habits and birth rate changes?
Are the definitions fair? When people look at their own definition, do you have similar things in common with your generation? Should there be a different time period studied and reviewed?
Are the Census and demographics the same? Let's talk about the differences between a point in time (Census) and constantly evolving study (demographics).
A little discussion of urban vs rural populations and the changes. Quickly discussion how population alone is not the definition of success and the challenges ahead for both areas.
A quick look at the role demographics play in business, marketing, health care, government, transportation, retail, and education.
Taking a quick look at demographics, what does it cover, who uses demographics, and how they help you.
This is my first podcast. Demographics are an interesting and ever changing topic, and one that impacts our lives. It is my goal to add several episodes soon.
