In the past five years, the number of households in advanced economies that are made up of three or

more generations has increased. In the UK, the number of Multi-Gen homes has grown by 7%, and

now stands at 517,000 families nationwide. This is the highest recorded level since the 19th century.

Life expectancies are rising. Seniors are now the

fastest-growing demographic in the US. The number of people over 65 in the country will increase to 55m by 2020 – up from 40m in 2010 – according to the US Department of Health.

This phenomenon presents an opportunity for brands that can appeal to multiple generations, or can use one

demographic to target another. Living in multi-gen houses will be stressful for family members. Brands that can alleviate this

stress will appeal to the Multi-Gen family.
