The demographics are profound factors in the economy. Karen Briscoe, author and podcast host 5 Minute Success ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A better way of framing consumer behavior *by J***W on Reviewed in the United States on January 2, 2017* This book should be required reading for anyone whose business depends on understanding consumer behavior.Rather than using the same amorphous and - ultimately - unproductive generational definitions we've all become accustomed to, Burns and Porter approach the subject of demographics through the context of shared experience. It's a straightforward but potent idea: what was happening in the country and world when you were born and raised creates some degree of shared behavior and perspective, which informs consumer lifestyle choices.This context makes all the difference as it has the capacity to help root out useless or even damaging generalizations about how people make lifestyle decisions.Using a broad swath of carefully footnoted consumer data, plus the historical experiences and perspectives of real people born within each decade going back to the 30s, the authors craft a framework through which to view the future behaviors of these waves of consumers. When I applied this framework to several theses (business plans, product ideas, etc), the outcome was new perspectives on who might be the best buyers, and why. A couple of things in the book stood out for me:- Looking at four major variables (tech advancement, government policies, growth, societal norms) driving these consumers' shifting behaviors helps the reader understand how younger (larger) generations will behave going forward. Focusing on the changing patterns of marriage and birth is of particular interest.- The effects of foreign-born consumers in the US have been - until now - poorly understood and often discounted. Yet these consumers make up at least 15% of mature generations and tend to be better savers, so ignoring them is provably foolish.- Rather than just being a bunch of data and charts, the authors bring the data to life and make it actionable information, pointing out specific areas of opportunity in all the trends.All in all, having read many marketing strategy and demographic trends books, I recommend this book without reservation for readers seeking to understand and capitalize on the changing behaviors of consumers of different age ranges. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Well structured, innovative and bold demographic forecast *by S***T on Reviewed in the United States on October 16, 2017* As an economist I am always on the lookout for more logical forecasts. As a businessman I need well-structured information that is carefully presented, backed by best-in-class data. Big Shifts Ahead delivers on both fronts.What drew me to this book was John Burns' ability to scrub and funnel massive amounts of high-quality data into timely information, using innovative categorization and lucid visualization. Big Shifts Ahead uses the same approach to derive expert forecasts and extract meaningful, concise conclusions from a huge pool of data.In Big Shifts Ahead, Burns and Porter use commonsense frameworks to make their points. They classify their demographic data into generations by decade born, which is a novel approach to mainstream demographic analysis. It seems crazy this hasn't been done more widely before. They identify the major influences on how these folks will spend their money in future, and then use trend analysis by life-stage (decade born) to predict the economic impact, both by cohort and in aggregate. The results are powerful and the conclusions are clear.The structure of the book is especially well suited to the businessman's needs. Conclusions are presented first in executive summary form. These are followed by discussion chapters, and then useful materials in the appendix. This structure makes the book readable and usable by a wide range of time-constrained business people, while also providing deep and detailed backup information for data-junkies (especially if you get into the nuts-and-bolts of the underlying data-references). As a bonus, Burns and Porter provide a free download of 115 pages of charts from the book for use in professional presentations.I recommend this book as a succinct, smart, and well-constructed demographic analysis. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/45939973-big-shifts-ahead-demographic-clarity-for-business](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/45939973-big-shifts-ahead-demographic-clarity-for-business) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-10*
