The new McCrindle report ‘An undercurrent of faith' says: Those turning to Christian faith are not who we might expect - it's especially older people, the recently widowed and recently separated or divorced.The move is most on away from Christian identity in outer suburbia and regional areas.Australians are still turning to Christianity in large numbers, despite a decline in Christian affiliation.While 85,000 15-24 year olds have moved towards Christianity in the last five years, that's dramatically down on a decade agoFounder and Principle of McCrindle research, Mark McCrinde, says his report shows a new search for purpose and meaning and asks is “Australia Post Christian or are we now Post Secular?” Plus we compare the findings of the national McCrindle report with the recent Sydney Anglican report on Church attendance. Reach Australia National ConferenceReach Australia's National Conference is from 19 to 22 May 2025 on the Central Coast of NSW.

Despite advancements in technology and innovation, productivity growth has slowed — an intriguing phenomenon known as the “Productivity Paradox” (as we have called it!).

The waves of change impacting the education sector are perhaps unparalleled.

Australia is in the grip of a teacher shortage that is a decade in the making.   New research by McCrindle has revealed more than half of educators are considering leaving the profession. On top of that, teaching is increasingly becoming an aging profession, with 20% of the workforce to reach retirement age over the next decade. On today's briefing, we speak with social researcher and demographer, Mark McCrindle, to explore why this is happening and what's being done to attract more people to study teaching.

Each generation's economic and social experience is different, and goes a long way to shaping their property investment journey. However, most agree their first property purchase was the hardest. This is especially true now, given the rapid price rises in recent years. So is there still an appetite amongst the younger generation – ‘Gen Z' – to enter the market.  To explore this Jarrod enlisted the expertise of Mark McCrindle, Demographer, social researcher, bestselling author, and TEDx speaker.

In this week's conversation between Dr. James Emery White and co-host Alexis Drye, they discuss the newest generational cohort that sociologists and marketers are playing close attention to - Generation Alpha. Ranging in age from those born in 2010 through 2025, Gen Alpha will be the first generation raised fully in a world of technological integration. So what does the church, as well as the wider world, need to understand about this generation? What makes them unique? Episode Links Dr. White has authored two books centered around the profiles of particular chunks of our society: The Rise of the Nones - those who refuse to identify themselves with any particular religion, and Meet Generation Z - an inside look at the inner world of Gen Zers, their cultural context, and their relationship with faith and God. We're just seeing the beginnings of books and articles focusing on Gen Alpha and trying to learn more about them. Here are some that we'd suggest for you: Harriet Walker, “We're Generation Alpha (14 and under with millions of followers),” The Times UK. April Rubin, “‘A landmark generation': Introducing Gen Alpha,” Axios. Mark McCrindle, Ashley Fell and Sam Buckerfield, Generation Alpha: Understanding Our Children and Helping Them Thrive (Hatchette: Australia, 2021). Marcia Lawrence, “Welcome ‘Generation Alpha'— the Youngest Pre-Consumers,” The Emporia Gazette. Adrianne Pasquarelli and E.J. Schultz, “Move Over Gen Z, Generation Alpha Is the One to Watch,” Advertising Age. “Generation Alpha,” Hotwire. Finally, never will parental involvement be more important than for Gen Alpha, who have so much access to information but so little access to wisdom. Dr. White has delivered a number of series at Mecklenburg Community Church on topics related to the family and parenting. You can find those messages HERE. And parents need to have the courage to have honest conversations with their children about faith. We'd suggest you read an article by Kara Powell and Steven Argue from Christianity Today titled “The Biggest Hindrance to Your Kids' Faith Isn't Doubt. It's Silence.” For those of you who are new to Church & Culture, we'd love to invite you to subscribe (for free of course) to the twice-weekly Church & Culture blog and check out the Daily Headline News - a collection of headlines from around the globe each weekday.

Generation X describes those born between 1965 and 1979, which currently places them in their early forties to mid-fifties. They witnessed the introduction of computers in schools and homes, becoming the first generation to experience working parents and higher rates of divorce. Termed the “latch-key kids” and the “home alone generation,” they developed independence, flexibility, and a peer-oriented mindset. Gen X, like their non-descript label, have an understated visibility in society but bring a massive influence economically, demographically, politically, and organisationally.

How important do you think statistics are? We, of course, believe that they are incredibly important - but perhaps not everyone feels the same way. However, research, numbers, and statistics do have the opportunity to effect real change. Why? Because behind the statistics are real people and their stories. And stories are powerful. In today's episode, our host, Ashley Fell, sits down with social researcher and futurist, Mark McCrindle, to discuss some of the stats that changed the world.

We often discuss the technology that is automating the future of work.

Australia has long been blessed with stable governments, high-functioning democracy, and the rule of law. However, what actively enables the flourishing of our society is not just government and its agencies, or even our local communities, but the for-purpose sector. While the retail sector facilitates vitally needed communities of interaction, and our diverse local suburbs for many are communities of belonging, it is the charities and non-profits that build communities of purpose. These for-purpose organisations are defined by three factors which distinguish them from business, retail, or local communities: they are problem focused, outward orientated, and action driven. This is why Australians, even in this era of declining trust in institutions, continue to hold charities in high regard. In today's episode, our host, Ashley Fell, sits down with social researcher and futurist, Mark McCrindle, to discuss the insights from our latest report about the future of the not-for-profit sector.

According to a recent study, the average amount of time that an employee stays in one job is now down to two years and nine months. This means that for a school leaver today, who will live longer and work later into their life, we predict that they will have 18 jobs, across 6 careers, in their lifetime. Now when we share this forecast, sometimes people audibly gasp in shock. And that's understandable, because it is a big figure and it has some big implications - for both the employee and the employer. In today's episode, our host, Ashley Fell, sits down with social researcher and futurist, Mark McCrindle, to discuss this trend and the future of careers.
