| The post-World War 2 baby boom generation turned 70 in 2016. Babies born earlier, during the baby boom that followed World War 1 lived through the Great Depression, were young adults during World War 2, and turned 70 in the early 1990s.
Despite there being fewer than three decades between these generations, there are differences in life expectancy, marital status, childbearing, and employment.
 Business, industry and trade The provisional estimates for the total value of successful domestic and cross- border mergers and acquisitions (M&A) involving UK companies during Quarter 4 (Oct to Dec) 2017 fell compared with both Quarter 3 (July to Sept) 2017 and the same quarter of the previous year (Quarter 4 2016).
Outward M&A (UK companies acquiring foreign companies) was the main driver for the total value of M&A activity during 2017 (Jan to Dec), with the value reaching a 17-year high of £76.6 billion; the value in 2017 was dominated by the completion of two high-value deals: the acquisition of Mead Johnson Nutrition Company and Reynolds America.
The value of inward M&A (foreign companies acquiring UK companies) was £35.3 billion in 2017, a sizeable decrease compared with the value recorded in 2016, but higher than values recorded between 2011 and 2015.
Domestic M&A (UK companies acquiring other UK companies) was worth £18.6 billion for the whole of 2017, a slight decrease on the total value recorded during the previous year (2016) although higher than values recorded between 2009 and 2015. |
