Abstract
It had been established that the heads of institutions should form teams of workers of different generations with different expectations and methods of work in the context of reforming the public service. The periods of forming generations have been set on the basis of literary sources, such as: Generation X (the period up to 1980); Generation Y (from 1981 to 1996); and Generation Z (after 1997). The most important criteria which form the characteristics of public servants have been singled out, and common and distinctive traits of Generations X, Y, and Z have been systematized. The distribution of the number of public servants in Ukraine has been analyzed by gender, age and the category of position. Based on the use of correlation-regression analysis, the tendency of changes in the share of state servants of Ukraine by age category up to 2020 was investigated. This made it possible to confirm the suggested hypothesis of the dependence of the effective reform of the Ukrainian public service on the effective interaction and cooperation of all generations of public servants. The main requirements for a public institution in which the employees of the new generation will work have been systematized.

SummaryA postal questionnaire was sent out in September 1977 to all women aged between 40 and 60 years in Ede, the Netherlands. The design of the study was similar to that used by Jaszmann et al. in 1967 in the same locality. The response rate was 66·6%. Data were analysed using theprobit analysis, a segmentation analysis and by applying chi-squared tests to cross tabulations. The median age at menopause was 51·7 years, 3 months later than in 1967. When, however, women who were taking oral contraceptives at the time of the survey were excluded the median age at menopause was found to be virtually the same as 10 years previously. The effect of factors associated with early or late menopause was studied. The results are discussed. The concept of a secular trend is briefly commented upon.

In this article three social psychology theories that allow to predict effectiveness of age diverse teams were presented shortly. Then a cycle of German studies that have identified factors influencing the relationship between age diversity and teams effectiveness were reviewed. The above factors were respectively discussed. They were: age saliance, age stereotypes, task complexity, age discrimination, appreciation of age diversity, ergonomic working conditions. Practical implications of the cycle of studies were presented.

Findings of a recent Illinois readership study are presented here with a discussion of their implications. Dr. Schramm is director of the Institute of Communications Research, University of Illinois. Dr. White, head of the Bradley University journalism department, will join the Boston University faculty this fall.
