The receded generation is made of people (men and women) who are in the 30-40 years age range. It is the generation which for biological reasons can offer the top productivity and psychophysical performance and therefore it is the most suited to fill responsibility roles in the society.

The receded generation is son of affluence: it had an untroubled childhood, grew up in great comfort, could commit full time to the studies, entered the job market quite late. 

The receded generation, compared to the previous generations, is not developing but receding. Not only it can't emerge in the social fabric, but also it is the part of the population most affected by the economic crisis.

The receded generation is losing hope: it has little confidence in the future, it sees all its initiatives always destroyed and it is chained up in "system logics" which someone else created.

The receded generation is not evaluated for its merits, lives in a society and in an economic system strongly conditioned by "relationships", where most of the times networking means corruption and patronage. 

The receded generation is made of young good researchers obliged to emigrate in order to do the job they love, of workers waiting for a flexibility which brings opportunities and not precariousness, of women often forced to choose between work and motherhood.

The receded generation is typically Italian, and it is son of the omnipotent generation.

The omnipotent generation constitutes the current governing class in Italy. It built the wealth of the country in the past decades and for this reason it holds an absolute power.

The omnipotent generation reserved for itself golden pensions to the detriment of the successive generations, created its own rules and defined its own ethics. 

The omnipotent generation oppresses and controls the successive generations, manages their expectations and chokes the enthusiasm and the will to the take part in the social and political life.

The omnipotent generation considers the receded generation too "young" and "inexperienced", finds it unsuitable to understand the complex logics which it created and believes it is still not ready to fill responsibility roles.
