What does generation y mean




















We remain open to recalibrating if that occurs. But more than likely the historical, technological, behavioral and attitudinal data will show more of a continuum across generations than a threshold. As has been the case in the past, this means that the differences within generations can be just as great as the differences across generations, and the youngest and oldest within a commonly defined cohort may feel more in common with bordering generations than the one to which they are assigned.

This is a reminder that generations themselves are inherently diverse and complex groups, not simple caricatures. In the near term, you will see a number of reports and analyses from the Center that continue to build on our portfolio of generational research. Today, we issued a report looking — for the first time — at how members of Generation Z view some of the key social and political issues facing the nation today and how their views compare with those of older generations.

To be sure, the views of this generation are not fully formed and could change considerably as they age and as national and global events intervene. Even so, this early look provides some compelling clues about how Gen Z will help shape the future political landscape. In the coming weeks, we will be releasing demographic analyses that compare Millennials to previous generations at the same stage in their life cycle to see if the demographic, economic and household dynamics of Millennials continue to stand apart from their predecessors.

Yet, we remain cautious about what can be projected onto a generation when they remain so young. Donald Trump may be the first U. Bush and Barack Obama shaped the political debate for Millennials, the current political environment may have a similar effect on the attitudes and engagement of Gen Z, though how remains a question.

We look forward to spending the next few years studying this generation as it enters adulthood. Fresh data delivered Saturday mornings. It organizes the public into nine distinct groups, based on an analysis of their attitudes and values.

Even in a polarized era, the survey reveals deep divisions in both partisan coalitions. Use this tool to compare the groups on some key topics and their demographics.

Pew Research Center now uses as the last birth year for Millennials in our work. President Michael Dimock explains why. About Pew Research Center Pew Research Center is a nonpartisan fact tank that informs the public about the issues, attitudes and trends shaping the world.

It conducts public opinion polling, demographic research, media content analysis and other empirical social science research. There are a lot of things Millennials care about and it is not that simple to provide all those things. As mentioned before, they are really self-confident and they are not afraid to raise questions if something is not clear.

They are looking for more than just a job, they are looking for something that feels worthwhile to work for. Furthermore, they are not only motivated by money.

If you want to attract people of Gen Y you have to satisfy their needs and expectations. But the term didn't age well, and "Millennials" has largely overtaken it. But the terms basically mean the same thing. Millennials have been characterized in a number of different ways. On the negative side, they've been described as lazy, narcissistic and prone to jump from job to job. The book "Trophy Kids" by Ron Alsop discusses how many young people have been rewarded for minimal accomplishments such as mere participation in competitive sports, and have unrealistic expectations of working life.

A story in Time magazine said polls show that Millennials "want flexible work schedules , more 'me time' on the job, and nearly nonstop feedback and career advice from managers. They're lazy. They're coddled. They're even a bit delusional. Those aren't just unfounded negative stereotypes about 80 million Americans born roughly between and They're backed up by a decade of sociological research.

A study found Millennials to be "more civically and politically disengaged, more focused on materialistic values, and less concerned about helping the larger community than were GenX born and Baby Boomers born to about at the same ages," according to USA Today.
