The Values of Senior Consumers: a Multinational Analysis

This paper makes a contribution to knowledge by analyzing and comparing the values of older consumers across four culturally disparate nations (Japan, Germany, UK, and Hungary). Findings suggest that, as a whole, these seniors value security, warm relations with others, and self-respect above other values. Conversely, being well respected and a sense of belonging are less important to them. However, key differences across nations did emerge. Implications for marketers are discussed.
