As with subsequent essays, this one is the result of an analysis of data collected between 1989 and 2013 through the Federal Reserve's Survey of Consumer Finances.

The Demographics of Wealth 2015, Essay No. 3: Age, Birth Year and Wealth
Boshara, Ray; Emmons, William R.; Noeth, Bryan J. (2015-07)
This essay documents significant differences in financial choices and financial outcomes across the life cycle (that is, at different stages of life) and across birth-year cohorts (that is, comparing different groups of people who were born at about the same time). Like race-, ethnicity- and education-related disparities, the age- and birth year-related differences described here have existed at least since 1989, when our data begin. We show that gaps in several financial behaviors and financial outcomes related to age and year of birth have grown larger in recent years.
