Generation Z grew up in the era of smartphones and remote employment, and now many members of the cohort have grown to become highly social yet unskilled young adults who fear climate change and are likely still living with their parents.
As described by Pew Research, those who are Generation Z, or “Gen Z,” are people born roughly between 1997 and 2012. They are the second-youngest generation and will be followed by a “majority-minority” called Generation Alpha, which was preceded by millennials. According to an August 2023 study of updated U.S. census data, Gen Z Americans will be the last white majority generation.
