Generation Z, born between 1997 and 2012, is coming of age and taking over. With their unique perspectives and experiences, this generation is poised to make significant changes in various fields, from politics to technology to entertainment.

Understanding the reasons behind the rise of Generation Z sheds light on the potential impact they can have in various areas of society.

With their innovative ideas, open-mindedness, and desire for positive change, Gen Zers are poised to shape the future of politics, technology, entertainment, and beyond. As we explore these areas in more detail, we can gain a deeper understanding of the impact this generation is likely to have in the years to come.

Diversity

Importantly, they are the most diverse generation in global history. According to the Pew Research Center, they are the first generation where non-Hispanic Whites make up less than half of the population. This diversity has led to greater awareness and acceptance of different cultures, lifestyles and beliefs, making them more tolerant and inclusive than previous generations.

Digitally Savvy

Gen Z has grown up in a digital world, making them more tech-savvy than their predecessors. They are adept at using social media and other digital platforms to express their opinions, connect with others, and effect change. This skill set has allowed them to lead online movements like #MeToo, Black Lives Matter, and March for Our Lives, which have raised awareness about social issues and sparked real-world action.

Politically Engaged

Gen Z is also more politically engaged than previous generations. According to a study by the Institute of Politics at Harvard University, 40% of Gen Z members surveyed said they would definitely or probably vote in the 2020 presidential election, compared to 30% of Millennials in 2016. This engagement is also reflected in their activism, as Gen Z is more likely to participate in protests and engage in social and political issues.

Social Responsibility in the Work Place

In the workplace, Gen Z is poised to shake things up as they enter the workforce. They are more interested in social responsibility and work-life balance than previous generations, and they value diversity and inclusion. According to a study by Deloitte, 77% of Gen Z members believe that companies should address important social issues, and 64% would take a pay cut to work for a company that aligns with their values.

Environmentally Conscience

Gen Z is also driving innovation in various fields. They are using their tech skills to create startups and disrupt industries, and they are pushing for more sustainable and environmentally friendly solutions. This generation is set to become the largest consumer group by 2026, and companies are already taking notice of their preferences and values.

Their diversity, tech skills, political engagement, and values are shaping the future in various fields, from politics to technology to entertainment. As they continue to come of age, it will be exciting to see the impact they will have on the world.
