Abstract
This paper compares the levels of status consumption for Baby Boomers, Generation X, and Generation Y (Millennials). The study finds significant differences in the level of status consumption by generational cohort. The average level of status consumption was highest for Generation Y, followed by Generation X and then Baby Boomers. In looking at the significance of these differences between individual cohorts, there was a significant difference between Generation Y and Baby Boomers. For luxury marketers, this suggests they consider the Generation Y generational cohort as a potential market segment.
