22. In the past five years, the number of households in
advanced economies that are made up of three or
more generations has increased. In the UK, the
number of Multi-Gen homes has grown by 7%, and
now stands at 517,000 families nationwide. This is the
highest recorded level since the 19th century.

27. Life expectancies are rising. Seniors are now the
fastest-growing demographic in the US. The number of people
over 65 in the country will increase to 55m by 2020 – up from
40m in 2010 – according to the US Department of Health.
This phenomenon presents an opportunity for brands
that can appeal to multiple generations, or can use one
demographic to target another. Living in multi-gen houses will
be stressful for family members. Brands that can alleviate this
stress will appeal to the Multi-Gen family.
