In the latest issue of Exchange, the article, "Child Care and the New Economy," looks at how the U.S. economy will change when it recovers.  One change will be the increasing impact of "millenials" (individuals born between 1980 and 1995, with about 80 million members).  The article noted these characteristics of millennials:

• “As the first generation to grow up learning computers along with the alphabet, technology comes naturally to millennials . . . “
• “ . . . millennials are superior team players.”
• “[Millennials] want to be part of a community at work not only to socialize, but also to help each other out.”
• “Having diverse social circles and networks is second nature to millennials.”
• “In addition to desiring the freedom and flexibility of virtual offices, many millennials also want to forego inflexible long hours and spend time outside of work focusing on their personal lives.”
• “[Millennials] place a priority on social responsibility . . . [and] want to work for an organization that is socially responsible and aware.”

In the November issue of Exchange, we will explore how the new economy will impact the demand for and delivery of early childhood services.  We invite you to share your opinions on this.  First, review the "Child Care in the New Economy" article at www.ChildCareExchange.com.  Then go to the new economy survey and share your predictions.
