Tlhe composition of our workforce is changing. According to recent research, in two years' time there will be more Australians leaving the workforce than entering it, creating a skills shortage in many industries. The young people that are currently entering the workforce, the so called Generation Y, have a different personality profile than any other generation in the past. Generation Y refers to those born between 1978 and 1994. Generation Y makes up 20.5% of our population and 45% of our workforce. They are a generation of consumers wanting an instant lifestyle. They are career orientated and self interested; tire quickly of routine and demand change. They do not see business owners and farmers as role models, as they have different lifestyle aspirations.
