generation y

President of the scientist’s arm coming of age, and I love to collect facts and figures about the various stages of adulthood. Although I have said before that I think that the definition of the life cycle of the least number of feeling, I still think it is useful to examine what data are telling us about a particular cohort. (Recently, I have done so when offered five new facts about teens.)
In this context, today’s topic is often discussed Generation Y, also known as the Millennial Generation, the youth, Under-30s or “General Joseph” only knows Gen Y loose by those persons who were born between 1982 and 1991, making it (almost) aged between 18 and 30.
About six months ago, broke New York Times Magazine story feature about the new “somethings – 20″ which seems to be taking forever to grow up – delayed marriage, changing jobs several times, and failure to achieve economic independence and the other parameters the age of puberty. Since then, there was a lot of attention in this age group, both in what drives their late adulthood, and what we know about this population group.
Here are five facts about the new Generation Y:
1. Living in the home may not be longer so bad. While one may be inclined at first to condemn the Gen Y for failing to get its act together soon, two new studies suggest that there may be advantages to late adulthood. One, from the University of Minnesota, argues that parental assistance in adulthood in the early actually promotes progress towards independence and self-reliance. The researchers found that while nearly half of young adults in the sample their own either the receipt of funds to cover living expenses or living with their parents (or both) in the 20s the middle, only 10 to 15 percent received financial assistance, or when housing in the early of 30s. Moreover, he began to support parents and children, young adults took on adult roles, such as earning a higher income or a family, and taper, regardless of age. Two sociologists from the state of Oregon found that in addition to living at home longer may also promote closer ties with the parents.
2. Millennium generation care more about the parenting of marriage. Found on 2010 Pew Research study that 52% of the Millennial Generation says a good parent is “one of the most important things” in life, while only 30 percent say the same thing about a successful marriage. In other words, there are 22 percentage point difference in the value of fatherhood the way the Millennial Generation to marry. The difference to 29-year-old in 1997, only seven percentage points – when they were asking this same question on 18. Wow. Pew Research surveys to conduct research also Millennials are less likely than adults aged 30 and older say that the child needs a home with his father and mother both to grow up happily, that fatherhood and single and married family couple is not in the interests of the community. Given that we also know that young women and young men behind face-to-face jobs and income and a high degree, this may be shifts in the attitudes make a lot of sense. If this was the more intelligent, and young ladies want a higher income children, they may need to do so on their own.
3. Gen Y is an isolationist. Brookings Institute recently surveyed more than 1000 young leaders for their views on foreign policy. Among the results are more striking is how insular this group was strongly in its foreign policy tendencies. A full 58 percent of young leaders and say that America is “too involved in world affairs,” and should focus more on issues at home instead of things like building a military force or the reduction of poverty in all parts of the world. I found the results to be great, especially in light of a recent study from the University of Michigan Institute for Social Research, which found that college students today are 40 percent less sympathetic than it was in 1979. According to the results and today’s students are generally less likely to describe themselves as “compassionate” or be “tender, concerned feelings” of others. Are more likely, at the same time, to recognize that “the misfortunes of others” usually do not bother them. In other words, while this generation is far more relevant to face-to-face technology and the like, all this thread does not seem to be a translation of real concern for the world and one another.
4. Generation Y changes the priorities of work. While primary to take the Al-General is that coddled, lazy and work averse, which may turn out to be wrong. It is true that 40 percent of 18 – to 29-year-old any function or lack of underemployment. But according to an article published in the Miami Herald, and those who work and seems to be embracing a new, more humble attitude and realistic for action, fueled by one of the hard reality of a recession. In today’s climate harsh new economic and millennium generation realize that they can not make the demand for bonuses and promotions, leave and training that can be once they have only a few years back. It is also not reach a ring of brass, they are happy to do their best, wherever they are in the corporate ladder, and the recognition that it may take some time to get to the top. This change sea in line with a recent article in The New York Times pointing out that the millennium generation is embracing different types of jobs these days, and often “do good” in the public sector (where the jobs are) instead of trying to points of high salaries, high-level jobs in the corporate sector.
5. Gen Y is more confident and optimistic. I found another study, Pew, and this one released last year, that 18 – to 29-year-old remains optimistic, despite the recession, labor killings and wars and the threat of terrorism. In the light of negative publicity about all of this generation, and I, for one, and was very happy to hear this
