DESCRIPTION:Anette Fasang\, “Generational Trends in Wealth Accumulation and
  Wealth Inequality: Comparing Baby Boomers\, Gen X\, and Millennials in Ge
 rmany and the United States”\, IAST General Seminar\, Toulouse: IAST\, Sep
 tember 16\, 2025\, 11:30–12:30\, room Auditorium 4 (First floor - TSE Buil
 ding).\n\nRecent reports suggest that post-millennial generations are the 
 first to be worse off than their parents\, on average\, in several affluen
 t capitalist democracies. However\, we lack systematic country comparisons
  of generational shifts in wealth accumulation and wealth inequality\, whi
 ch would enable us to disentangle how economic restructuring and welfare s
 tate context contribute to generational changes in wealth accumulation. In
  this study\, we compare trends in wealth accumulation and wealth inequali
 ty across birth cohorts in the United States and Germany using the US Surv
 ey of Consumer Finances (SCF 1989-2022) and the German Einkommens- und Ver
 braucherstichprobe (EVS\, 1993 and 2008) that provide sufficient case numb
 ers to assess generational change across the full wealth distribution. The
  analyses focus on wealth accumulated by mid-life for each generation usin
 g households with a reference person aged 30-39 at the time of the intervi
 ew. We compare cohorts born 1954-63 (Baby Boomers)\, 1969-78 (Gen X)\, and
  1984-93 (Millennials). Preliminary findings suggest that increasing wealt
 h inequality is the main generational trend in the United States. Wealth a
 t mid-life is more unequally distributed among Millennials in the United S
 tates compared to Baby Boomers\, whereas average wealth holdings shift onl
 y modestly across generations. In contrast\, in Germany\, wealth inequalit
 y increased more modestly across generations. The primary generational tre
 nd in Germany appears to be an overall decline in net household wealth at 
 midlife. We discuss how national economic and policy contexts in Germany a
 nd the United States contribute to cross-national differences in generatio
 nal trends in wealth accumulation and wealth inequality at mid-life.
