Россияне теряются в догадках, стоит ли причислять к зумерам (Generation Z) людей, родившихся в конце девяностых. Те, кто появился на свет позже 1997 года, чувствуют связь с миллениалами и относят себя к "детям 90-х". Medialeaks разобрался, почему термин "зиллениалы" подойдёт больше других определений.

Кого можно назвать зумером

Термин "зумеры" пришёл из теории поколений, разработанной американскими историками Уильямом Штраусом и Нилом Хау, в которой представлены четыре архетипа поколений с определёнными наборами качеств и ценностей. По мнению авторов концепции, смена поколений происходит каждые 15-20 лет, и через 80-90 лет цикл повторяется.

Всего выделяют несколько поколений:

Молчаливое поколение (1923-1943 годы рождения);

Поколение беби-бума, или бумеры (1943-1962 годы рождения по Штраусу-Хау, или 1946-1964 годы по данным исследовательского центра Pew);

Поколение X (1963-1981, или 1965-1980 годы);

Поколение Y, или миллениалы (1982-2000, или 1981-1996 годы);

Поколение Z, или зумеры (2001-2016, или 1997-2012 годы).

Поколение Z считается самым продвинутым в цифровых технологиях, ведь они родились в эпоху активного использования интернета и гаджетов. В теории зумеры - более осознанные молодые люди, которых волнуют проблемы экологии и социально значимые вопросы. Как правило, представители поколения Z придерживаются либеральных взглядов и уделяют особое внимание ментальному здоровью.

Но вычислить зумеров оказалось не так-то просто: учёные не пришли к общему мнению, с какого года начинается поколение Z - c 2001-го или 1997-го. Теперь россияне, рожденные в конце 90-х, пытаются выяснить, кто они - миллениалы или всё же зумеры.

damn

Я в три часа ночи пытаюсь найти точную инфу по годам рождения бумеров, миллениалов и зумеров, чтобы разобраться, кто я.

К какому поколению принадлежат рожденные в конце 90-х

В Сети молодые люди, рождённые в конце в 1997-1999 годах, всё чаще задаются вопросом, к какому поколению они относятся, ведь теоретики представляют два возможных варианта - поколение Y или Z.

kimberly lipton 29/84

Вот так много теорий поколений и их названий, включая тот факт, что везде по-разному указываются годовые промежутки.
Миллениалы до 1996-го, а зумеры после 1997-го.
А 1997-й - как таковое, видимо, поколение, которое просто хочет сдохнуть.

вика дормоедка

Не можем определиться, кто мы: зумеры или миллениалы. Дядя называет нас с сестрой миллениалами, но по этой теории мы - зумеры (она 1997 года).

Многие россияне 1997-1999 годов рождения причисляют себя к миллениалам. Они застали конец девяностых, смотрели фильмы на видеокассетах и играли в тетрис, а значит, у них есть общие воспоминания с представителями поколения Y.

Например, певица Елизавета Гардымова, более известная под сценическим псевдонимом Монеточка, родилась в 1998 году, и по теории Pew она - зумерка. При этом Лиза обладает вайбом настоящего миллениала: в 2018 году она выпустила трек "90-е", в котором, описывая суровые девяностые, точно передала настроение того времени. И всё же часть пользователей Сети называют её музыку мелодиями для поколения Z.

Хот зумер тейк: Земфира - худшая российская музыка, Монеточка - лучшая.

Вероятно, некоторые люди, рождённые в конце 90-х годов, относят себя к поколению Y, потому что иногда понятие "зумер" употребляется в негативном ключе. Например, когда представители других поколений хотят подчеркнуть юный возраст собеседника или его неосведомлённость по какому-то вопросу.

юляша в неизбывной печали

Так вот, кто такие зумеры.

анянегрусти

Чувак тупо зумер: не знает, что делать, и спрашивает в интернете.

В словаре английского сленга Urban Dictionary существует специальный термин для обозначения людей, "застрявших" между поколениями Y и Z, - зиллениалы. Это те представители, которые появились на свет в период примерно с 1994 по 1999 год и обладают качествами, характерными для миллениалов и зумеров. При этом зиллениалы не чувствуют себя частью какого-то определённого поколения.

даря челочка набок и немного стоит

Ого, оказывается, 1997-2002-й - это не миллениалы и не зумеры, а зиллениалы.

Поэтому если вы ждали выхода очередной книги о "Гарри Поттере", но ваш первый телефон был уже без кнопок, то, вероятно, вы - зиллениал, рождённый на стыке двух поколений.

Ранее Medialeaks рассказал, чем арбузер отличается от абьюзера. Забавным словом пользователи Сети называют вредных питомцев и вымышленных персонажей, которые невольно причиняют героям дискомфорт.

Вадим Матюшкин, B&D: как учатся миллениалы и зумеры

Людей, родившихся между 1997 и 2012 годами, называют поколением Z, или "цифровыми аборигенами" - они с рождения пользуются телефонами, планшетами и компьютерами. Это также влияет на то, как они узнают и воспринимают информацию. Анна Кобец, методист онлайн-школы для репетиторов "Учи. Домой", объясняет, как зуммеры учатся.

Особенности поколения Z: обучение на протяжении всей жизни, быстрая обработка информации и самообразование.

Часто говорят, что зуммеры сосредоточены только на чтении коротких постов и просмотре коротких видео в TikTok. Из-за этого их считают поверхностными, неспособными анализировать информацию и решать задачи, требующие сосредоточенности. Но это ошибка - зумеры быстро привыкают к высокой скорости жизни, потоку информации и умеют приспосабливаться. Это говорит об остроте мышления, умении мгновенно переключаться с одной задачи на другую. Кроме того, они могут обрабатывать больше информации за более короткое время и не испытывать психологического дискомфорта.

Чаты, социальные сети, мессенджеры научили зуммеров быстрому общению - тому, что человек моментально получает ответ на свой вопрос. Быстрая коммуникация отражается и на учебе - например, студент хочет сразу узнать результат контрольной или получить объяснение неправильно решенной задачи.

Уже в подростковом возрасте люди поколения Z имеют широкое представление об окружающем мире, знают, что такое hard skills и soft skills, рано начинают задумываться о своем месте в жизни и способах заработка. Они стремятся к новым знаниям, стремятся выйти за рамки общеобразовательной программы - ищут практическое применение знаний в онлайн-курсах, узконаправленных интенсивах, даже на YouTube и TikTok.

Для зуммеров обучение - многогранный, непрерывный процесс, им близка концепция lifelong learning ("образование на протяжении всей жизни"). Для Z kids нет принципиальной разницы между онлайн- и офлайн-образованием.

Зумеры преуспевают там, где нужно полагаться на их сильные стороны, они склонны принимать решения самостоятельно, даже если для этого требуется изучить большой объем информации или провести целое исследование. При этом им гораздо комфортнее существовать в формате, где они могут в полной мере показать других и самостоятельно оценить свой вклад. Но, несмотря на свою независимость, зумеры ценят взаимодействие и сотрудничество, они командные игроки и эффективнее работают в небольших группах.

Основная мотивация поколения Z - внутренняя, а не внешняя. Для них важен интерес к предмету - хорошие оценки или любое другое вознаграждение для них отходит на второй план. Зумеры учатся, потому что им нравится процесс обучения. Менее значимым фактором является то, что знания пригодятся им в будущем, или то значение, которое им придают родители. Об этом свидетельствуют данные исследований - зумеров не интересует пассивная роль на уроке, они стремятся быть максимально вовлеченными в процесс обучения, ведь так они лучше усваивают материал и чувствуют свою значимость.

Для зумера важно осознавать, что он делает и зачем. На первом месте для него стоят ближайшие перспективы, так как мир постоянно меняется и, в первую очередь, ему нужны знания для решения задач здесь и сейчас.

Новые подходы к обучению: игры, интерактивность и наглядность

Подростки большую часть времени проводят за гаджетами и воспринимают Интернет как место, где можно найти любую информацию. Вполне логично взаимодействовать с представителями поколения Z посредством средств связи и привычными и понятными для них способами.

Новые технологии уже используются в дополнительном образовании - платформы создают образовательные программы, адаптированные для компьютеров, телефонов и планшетов. Методика курсов позволяет давать ученикам быструю обратную связь и автоматически проверять домашние задания. Это позволяет мгновенно увидеть результат выполнения упражнения и проанализировать ошибки. Как правило, онлайн-курсы для зумеров интерактивны, поэтому они им удобны и привычны.

Для поколения Z виртуальные игры - неотъемлемая часть жизни с раннего возраста. Они начинают играть в самые простые игры на смартфоне или планшете еще до того, как научатся писать и читать. При этом игры для них не только хобби, но и способ познания окружающего мира и один из способов социализации.

Геймификация обучения - это создание специальной методики, помогающей объяснить ученику материал урока в игровой, интерактивной форме. Согласно исследованиям Учи.Дома, благодаря эмоциональной подаче материала и его наглядности зуммер лучше усваивает информацию, а урок проходит эффективнее. Это концепция активного обучения, когда ученик из стороннего наблюдателя превращается в участника процесса.

Дети воспринимают игровые уроки и домашние задания как интересный и легкий процесс, а не тяжелую работу. Современных подростков сложно заставить делать уроки или изучать дополнительный материал по предметам только потому, что это "надо". Для них важно, чтобы задание было интересным, а игровые элементы хорошо подходили для того, чтобы превратить сложную или рутинную задачу в увлекательный процесс.

Также геймификация позволяет активно использовать визуальные образы в формате игры, а также видео или аудио, иллюстрации и схемы - все это намного лучше запоминается зумерами.

Примеры геймификации учебного процесса

- Бонусы в виде значков, статусов за прохождение определенных тем, выполнение тестов. Коллекционирование заложено в детской природе, поэтому получение очередного трофея будет мотивировать ребенка продолжать хорошо учиться.

- Разделение сложных тем на мини-уроки с ограниченным доступом по типу уровней в игре, которые открываются по мере прохождения заданий.

- Использование временных рамок. Возможность выполнять практические упражнения только в определенные дни недели.

- Создание чата. Многим нравится играть в классические игры из-за общения с единомышленниками, поэтому чат для школьников в мессенджере - тоже хорошая идея, там они могут обсуждать учебные вопросы друг с другом и преподавателями.

- Использование элементов четырехдверного метода. Учебный курс состоит из нескольких блоков: библиотека, в которой собран весь теоретический материал; площадка, которая нужна для освоения определенных тем, которые школьник может проходить неограниченное количество раз; "Кафе" - это места, где учащиеся могут обсуждать учебу и делиться результатами выполненных заданий и игр.

Как будут учиться зуммеры: гибкие навыки, эмоциональный интеллект и отмена учителей

В новый информационный век пришла новая экономическая парадигма, основным товаром которой являются знания. Поколение Z будет существовать в "знание экономику ", где они будут использоваться для создания материальных и нематериальных ценностей. Для зумера учитель перестает быть единственным носителем информации, так как способов ее получения сейчас сотни. В то же время преподаватель начинает играть более важную роль - помогая в понимании информации и ее применении на практике.

Учащиеся поколения Z работают гораздо лучше, когда им предоставляется среда, сочетающая вербальные, визуальные, интерактивные компоненты, среда, дающая возможности, в том числе для получения широкого практического опыта, позволяющая мгновенно применять полученные знания.

Будущие учителя сыграют значительную роль в развитии творческого и социального потенциала своих учеников. Большая роль в образовательном процессе будет отведена так называемым soft skills - коммуникативным навыкам, эмоциональному интеллекту, творчеству и творчеству.

Произойдет сдвиг в сторону мультидисциплинарности, что приведет к более активному взаимодействию различных научных знаний, а также станет логическим продолжением концепции долгосрочного обучения.

Поколение Z выросло в другое время - развитие цифрового мира влияет на их жизненные цели, интересы, способы восприятия информации. Поэтому необходимы разные подходы к взаимодействию с зуммерами и подготовке их к взрослой жизни. В этой статье мы привели лишь несколько примеров решений, но, безусловно, список должен и будет пополняться, только тот, кто умеет приспосабливаться к новым обстоятельствам, может добиться успеха в столь быстро меняющемся мире.

Поколение Z: как его учить

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
Прежде чем познакомить вас с особенностями поколения Z, мы хотим отметить, что не стоит воспринимать новое поколение через призму собственных ценностей и идеалов. Не потому что ваши ценности неправильные или плохие, просто такой подход не работает. Можно сопротивляться изменениям и людям, непохожим на нас. Но такая стратегия непродуктивна и не приводит к конкретным результатам.

Generation Z is the generation that follows the millennials, commonly referred to as Gen Z. With birth years starting around 1997, Gen Zers are well into their early careers but not yet as experienced as millennials. This makes them malleable employees who are prime for job training, particularly in the fields of hospitality and future management positions. Teaching Gen Z effectively takes a bit of finesse. This generation has been brought up with technology and is comfortable using devices, computers, apps and social media. In addition, Gen Z is more open than, say, baby boomers, and is, in general, more comfortable sharing private information. If you are a teacher with a classroom full of GenZers, you'll appreciate these tips on how to teach them.

Proclivities of Gen Z

While Gen Z does have certain things in common with millennials, such as a high level of comfort around technology, this generation is distinctive. Note that these are generalizations that do not hold true for every single Gen Z individual. This is especially important to remember in the classroom environment, where an understanding of each students' individual best learning methods is essential.

Generally speaking, Gen Z tends to be more serious-minded. They are focused on successand willing to work hard to attain it. They recognize how millennials have eschewed the traditional roles of older generations, but are not willing to toss all old standards away just to facilitate change. Gen Z tends to be more middle-of-the-road in the positions they believe in. Gen Z is less likely to smoke, take drugs or drink to excess. Studies have shown that rates of unwanted pregnancies are lower with Gen Z than in previous decades. Finally, visual imagery in the form of video is their preferred method of receiving information. YouTube is a favorite learning resource for everything from "How to change a car tire" to "Do aliens really exist?"

At the same time, Gen Z has their own way of thinking about things. They were reared in the age of instant gratification through on-demand videos, apps, etc., and many struggle with focus and persistence when things get tough. They are accustomed to personalized content and have a feeling that nothing is out of their reach; it's all possible. They are more socially active online than in real life. For Gen Z, the drama happens online. Problems with social media can impact their personal feelings and hence have a higher tendency to feeling depressedand anxious.

How to Teach Gen Z

In the classroom, teachers of Gen Z should be prepared to adapt to the way Gen Z tends to learn. This may take some adjustment, especially for teachers accustomed to traditional teaching methods, but there is nothing groundbreaking. All of these suggestions are completely accessible to teachers in any environment. It's all about flexibility, patience and a commitment to compromise.

1. Provide Assignments in Multiple Formats

In order to avoid the aforementioned allusion to overstated generalizations, consider providing assignments in multiple formats. This will accommodate GenZerswho prefer digital format as well as those who work best with traditional paper and pen. Also consider implementing video into assignments when it seems appropriate. To take this even further, consider creating assignments where the students themselves have choices to submit in various formats. For example, you could have an assignment where the student must demonstrate hospitality when a guest is being challenging. Rather than have students submit written answers, you could allow them to pair up and videotape some role playing and have them submit that.

2. Allow Personal Devices in the Classroom

This is counterintuitive; remember the days when teachers had students drop their cell phones in a basket at the classroom door? But for young adult GenZers, allowing personal devices in the classroom is a way of giving them their safety "blankets" in school. Cell phones are the new Blackberries. You'll likely find that your students use their devices to record your lectures, take photos of the white board or otherwise use cell phones productivity apps to learn better.

3. Personalize the Lessons

As stated, GenZersexpect personalized content. This doesn't mean you email them using their name every day. It means offering some tailored lessons for individual students. Yes, this is more work for the teacher, but once having created these lessons, you can easily tweak them for similar students in the following semesters/years. Besides, the payoff will be huge when you see your students responding to the personal treatment they receive in your classroom!

4. Offer Chat and/or Help

Some of your students will need extra help outside the classroom. Try offering chat or Skype help instead of traditional "office hours." GenZerswill love being able to quickly reach out to you from their home via online chat or a video chat app. You can still set boundaries with "off-hours" limits, but the availability in a format they love will really resonate with the way Gen Z interacts with the world.

As you can see, these ideas are different than what you may be used to as a teacher. But giving Gen Z the support and foundation they crave to be a success in the world will be very satisfying to you. Consider trying out at least one of these ideas in your classroom. If you see that it makes a difference, then you can incorporate anothers and so on. Before you know it, you'll be connecting with your Gen Z students in ways you never thought possible!

They grew up in an internet-connected world - and many can't remember a time without it. They're known for their hard-working, risk-averse and independent nature. They number about 2.47 billion people (that's 32 percent of the world's population). They're Generation Z, and today, they account for the vast majority of students within our K-12 schools. But is teaching Gen Z more difficult than pervious generations?

Like every generation, Gen Z has distinct characteristics - especially when it comes to learning. Their classrooms look different than those of previous generations. They turn to different sources of information than their predecessors. They consume that information and use it in ways that Millennials and Gen Xers never dreamed of (at least, when they were students, too).

So how can we make sure we support Gen Z learning in the most effective ways possible? Let's take a deeper dive into the generation, the trends we're seeing and the methods you can use in your classroom to help them succeed in their learning outcomes.

A Quick Study Guide to Gen Z

Not everyone agrees on what Gen Z should be called. Some say Zoomers, Gen Tech, Post-Millennials, iGeneration... you get the picture. Opinions even differ on Gen Z's exact birth years - though we think it's safe to say the late-1990s to mid-2010s.

What Gen Z characteristics can we agree on? Studies about the generation show some trends that are particularly relevant in the classroom:

Gen Zers are digital natives. Gen Z is the first generation to grow up with Internet access, playing on computers and tapping on smartphones - and some members can't remember a life without them. Technology is simply part of the fabric of everyday life, rather than a tool they use. For them, there is little to no separation between in-person and online experiences.

Gen Zers socialize online. They rely on social media to connect, watch, listen, read, play and share. The most popular platforms change and shift over time, but right now you can expect students in this generation to spend roughly six hours a day on Snapchat, TikTok, Instagram and YouTube.

Gen Zers want in-person interaction. Sure, they make tech-savvy students, and much of their social lives takes place online. But members of this generation also value face-to-face interaction and collaboration. Extend that into the classroom, and you'll find that 57 percent of Gen Zers prefer in-person learning activities with classmates. For Millennials, that number is just 47 percent.

Gen Zers expect personalized and on-demand experiences. When they want to watch a movie, there's Netflix. When they want to buy something, there's Amazon. Much of Gen Z's life is lived on-demand, influenced by algorithms that populate their news feeds, suggest content and recommend products.

Gen Zers have shorter attention spans. So says the research anyway, which measures the average Gen Z attention span at just eight seconds. Compare that to Millennials, who clock in at 12 seconds on average. Possible explanations for the drop include the pervasiveness of on-demand services and smartphones.

Gen Zers are practical. They value self-reliance and independence, particularly when it comes to self-directed learning. They're likely to search a video on YouTube to learn a new skill or explain a new concept. Their pragmatic attitude extends to matters of money and social issues as well.

You may have students in your classrooms who differ quite widely from the Gen Z characteristics above. Consider these generalizations a tool for the purposes of understanding and identifying the overarching trends that inform our classroom.

How Gen Z Learns

Millennials were raised with technology too, but the key difference is, they weren't always surrounded by it. They straddle a time between analog and digital. Their classrooms were dominated by textbooks and chalkboards, rather than tablets and smartboards. So it makes sense that Gen Z's learning style would be different from theirs.

What does that look like in practice? Let's take a look at the methods that resonate with Gen Z's characteristic and make teaching Gen Zers easier.

Learning by doing

Get in there... and get hands-on! Gen Zers want to tackle challenges in a fully-immersive environment that lets them conduct their own research, make decisions and take action. Not only do they find hands-on learning to be more effective, but Gen Zers also say it can help make learning more fun and interactive.

It's no wonder that 64 percent rank interactive classroom discussions and 60 percent rank working through problems as the most helpful tools for learning. Compare that to just 38 percent who prefer learning by seeing (think reading course materials), and 12 percent who value learning by listening (like classroom lectures).

Learning via video

Close that textbook, because today's students are overwhelmingly turning to video platforms like YouTube for learning. Not only does Gen Z spend a significant amount of time on YouTube each day - upwards of three or more hours, to be exact - but 59 percent say it's their preferred learning method.

In fact, video is already a prominent in teaching Gen Zers, with 55 percent reporting that YouTube has contributed to their education, learning or personal development over a 12-month period. Not only does it mesh with existing behavior with nearly 80 percent of Gen Zers using the platform, but it also satisfies their desire for on-demand content and tech-forward learning.

Social learning

Collaboration counts for this generation that seeks to engage, share knowledge, co-create with and learn from others both online and offline. Their social learning networks could include their classmates, friends, family, and even people from around the world.

Social learning allows students to learn from each other through observation and participation, solving problems faster by combining complementary skills, and adopting solutions that students wouldn't otherwise think of alone. Ask Gen Zers how they prefer to study, for example, and 80 percent will tell you: with friends. 60 percent are also happy to share their knowledge online with others.

Personalized learning

Though they take more standardized tests than any other previous generation, Gen Z's learning style is anything but standard. As the most diverse and technologically connected generation to date, they're used to being bombarded with information geared just for them, in the ways that suit them best.

When classroom activities and instruction involve multiple formats, with different levels of challenge and options for assessment, learning can be tailored for each student's individual needs. Adaptive learning is an example of personalization in action. Involving students in learning decisions and direction can help personalize the experience without overburdening teachers as well.

Hybrid learning

Gen Zers transition smoothly between online and in-person interaction, whether it's the way they socialize with each other or the way they learn. Hybrid learning is all about blending the traditional classroom with methods used in e-learning. And good news for this generation: technology has a huge role to play when teaching Gen Z.

Hybrid learning offers students more opportunities to make choices and take control over their learning journey. Gen Z learning tools like Google Classroom can streamline assignments and facilitate communication between students and teachers. Plus, e-learning tactics help create a more fun and engaging learning environment. Take Kahoot! for example - a platform that lets teachers and students create and play learning games in a simple way, online or in the classroom.

The Gen Z-Friendly Classroom

So what does all of this look like in a curriculum designed to make use of Gen Z learning tools and teaching Gen Z? Consider building these aspects into your curriculum mapping and lesson planning processes:

Cross-disciplinary alignment

Connect and promote learning across several subjects, from STEM to arts and language. Not only does this serve to keep Gen Z students engaged, but it also provides opportunities for them to learn in the ways that suit their individual needs best.

Student-informed learning

Give students opportunities to get involved in their own development. Offer more choice in how they want to consume classroom materials, complete assignments, receive assessment and access resources.

Experiential learning

Build in opportunities for community-centered learning that involves hands-on solutions to real-world problems. Authentic learning activities, for example, engage students with meaningful work that has a useful outcome for a genuine audience.

Integrated technology

Don't leave those smartphones at the front of the classroom - find ways to include them in your lessons instead. Tech can be your friend when it comes to engaging a generation of tech-savvy students with shorter attention spans.

Visual aids

Integrate video in particular, and keep it short. You may want to rely on a curated set of videos from YouTube, create your own for your classroom, or ask students to co-create their own videos as part of an assignment or learning activity.

One final word on teaching Gen Z students: they still need strong educators to lead their classrooms. Ask them how important teachers are in their learning and development, and 78% will tell you: very or extremely important. 39% say they prefer learning with teachers leading their instruction. That, at least, is one thing this generation shares with those that came before!

Pew Research Center's Social & Demographic Trends Project

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
One-in-ten eligible voters in the 2020 electorate will be part of a new generation of Americans - Generation Z. Born after 1996, most members of this generation are not yet old enough to vote, but as the oldest among them turn 23 this year, roughly 24 million will have the opportunity to cast a ballot in November. And their political clout will continue to grow steadily in the coming years, as more and more of them reach voting age.

Unlike the Millennials - who came of age during the Great Recession - this new generation was in line to inherit a strong economy with record-low unemployment. That has all changed now, as COVID-19 has reshaped the country's social, political and economic landscape. Instead of looking ahead to a world of opportunities, Gen Z now peers into an uncertain future.

There are already signs that the oldest Gen Zers have been particularly hard hit in the early weeks and months of the coronavirus crisis. In a March 2020 Pew Research Center survey, half of the oldest Gen Zers (ages 18 to 23) reported that they or someone in their household had lost a job or taken a cut in pay because of the outbreak. This was significantly higher than the shares of Millennials (40%), Gen Xers (36%) and Baby Boomers (25%) who said the same. In addition, an analysis of jobs data showed that young workers were particularly vulnerable to job loss before the coronavirus outbreak, as they were overrepresented in high-risk service sector industries.

Aside from the unique set of circumstances in which Gen Z is approaching adulthood, what do we know about this new generation? We know it's different from previous generations in some important ways, but similar in many ways to the Millennial generation that came before it. Members of Gen Z are more racially and ethnically diverse than any previous generation, and they are on track to be the most well-educated generation yet. They are also digital natives who have little or no memory of the world as it existed before smartphones.

Still, when it comes to their views on key social and policy issues, they look very much like Millennials. Pew Research Center surveys conducted in the fall of 2018 (more than a year before the coronavirus outbreak) among Americans ages 13 and older found that, similar to Millennials, Gen Zers are progressive and pro-government, most see the country's growing racial and ethnic diversity as a good thing, and they're less likely than older generations to see the United States as superior to other nations.

A look at how Gen Z voters view the Trump presidency provides further insight into their political beliefs. A Pew Research Center survey conducted in January of this year found that about a quarter of registered voters ages 18 to 23 (22%) approved of how Donald Trump is handling his job as president, while about three-quarters disapproved (77%). Millennial voters were only slightly more likely to approve of Trump (32%) while 42% of Gen X voters, 48% of Baby Boomers and 57% of those in the Silent Generation approved of the job he's doing as president.

Gen Z is more racially and ethnically diverse than previous generations

Generation Z represents the leading edge of the country's changing racial and ethnic makeup. A bare majority (52%) are non-Hispanic white - significantly smaller than the share of Millennials who were non-Hispanic white in 2002 (61%). One-in-four Gen Zers are Hispanic, 14% are black, 6% are Asian and 5% are some other race or two or more races.

Gen Zers are slightly less likely than Millennials to be immigrants: 6% were born outside of the U.S., compared with 7% of Millennials at the same age. But they are more likely to be the children of immigrants: 22% of Gen Zers have at least one immigrant parent (compared with 14% of Millennials). Even as immigration flows into the U.S. have diminished in recent years, new immigrants will join the ranks of Gen Z in the years to come. As a result, this generation is projected to become majority nonwhite by 2026, according to Census Bureau projections.

In some regions of the U.S., Gen Z has already crossed this threshold. In the West, only 40% of Gen Zers are non-Hispanic white. Just as many are Hispanic, while 4% are black, 10% are Asian and 6% are some other race. In the South, 46% of Gen Zers are non-Hispanic white. Minority representation is lowest in the Midwest, where more than two-thirds of Gen Zers (68%) are non-Hispanic white.

Gen Z on track to be the best-educated generation yet

A look at older members of Generation Z suggests they are on a somewhat different educational trajectory than the generations that came before them. They are less likely to drop out of high school and more likely to be enrolled in college. Among 18- to 21-year-olds no longer in high school in 2018, 57% were enrolled in a two-year or four-year college. This compares with 52% among Millennials in 2003 and 43% among members of Gen X in 1987.

These changing educational patterns are tied to changes in immigration especially among Hispanics. Gen Z Hispanics are less likely than Millennial Hispanics to be immigrants, and previous research has shown that second-generation Hispanic youth are less likely to drop out of high school and more likely to attend college than foreign-born Hispanic youth.

Gen Zers are also more likely to have a college-educated parent than are previous generations of young people. In 2019, 44% of Gen Zers ages 7 to 17 were living with a parent who had a bachelor's degree or more education, compared with 33% of Millennials when they were the same age. Both of these trends reflect the overall trend toward more Americans pursuing higher education.

Perhaps because they are more likely to be engaged in educational endeavors, Gen Zers are less likely to be working than previous generations when they were teens and young adults. Only 18% of Gen Z teens (ages 15 to 17) were employed in 2018, compared with 27% of Millennial teens in 2002 and 41% of Gen Xers in 1986. And among young adults ages 18 to 22, while 62% of Gen Zers were employed in 2018, higher shares of Millennials (71%) and Gen Xers (79%) were working when they were a comparable age.

Gen Zers and Millennials have similar viewpoints on many major issues of the day

The views of Gen Z mirror those of Millennials in many ways. Still, survey data collected in 2018 (well before the coronavirus outbreak) shows that there are places where this younger generation stands out as having a somewhat different outlook.

For example, members of Gen Z are more likely than older generations to look to government to solve problems, rather than businesses and individuals. Fully seven-in-ten Gen Zers say the government should do more to solve problems, while 29% say government is doing too many things better left to businesses and individuals. A somewhat smaller share of Millennials (64%) say government should do more to solve problems, and this view is even less prevalent among older generations (53% of Gen Xers, 49% of Boomers and 39% of Silents).

For the most part, however, Gen Zers and Millennials share similar views on issues facing the country. These younger generations are more likely than their older counterparts to say the earth is getting warmer due to human activity: 54% of Gen Z and 56% of Millennials say this, compared with smaller shares of Gen Xers, Boomers and Silents (48%, 45% and 38%, respectively).

When it comes to race relations, Gen Zers and Millennials are about equally likely to say that blacks are treated less fairly than whites in this country. Roughly two-thirds of Gen Zers and Millennials say this, compared with about half of Gen Xers and Boomers and smaller shares among the Silent Generation.

Younger generations also share a different view of the U.S. relative to other countries in the world. Gen Zers (14%) and Millennials (13%) are less likely than Gen Xers (20%), Boomers (30%) or Silents (45%) to say the U.S. is better than all other countries. Still, pluralities of every generation except the Silent Generation say the U.S. is one of the best countries in the world along with some others.

Within the GOP, Gen Zers have sharp differences with their elders

Among Republicans and those who lean to the Republican Party, there are striking differences between Generation Z and older generations on social and political issues. In their views on race, Gen Z Republicans are more likely than older generations of Republicans to say blacks are treated less fairly than whites in the U.S. today. Fully 43% of Republican Gen Zers say this, compared with 30% of Millennial Republicans and roughly two-in-ten Gen X, Boomer and Silent Generation Republicans. Views are much more consistent across generations among Democrats and Democratic leaners.

Similarly, the youngest Republicans stand out in their views on the role of government and the causes of climate change. Gen Z Republicans are much more likely than older generations of Republicans to desire an increased government role in solving problems. About half (52%) of Republican Gen Zers say government should do more, compared with 38% of Millennials, 29% of Gen Xers and even smaller shares among older generations. And the youngest Republicans are less likely than their older counterparts to attribute the earth's warming temperatures to natural patterns, as opposed to human activity (18% of Gen Z Republicans say this, compared with three-in-ten or more among older generations of Republicans).

Overall, members of Gen Z look similar to Millennials in their political preferences, particularly when it comes to the upcoming 2020 election. Among registered voters, a January Pew Research Center survey found that 61% of Gen Z voters (ages 18 to 23) said they were definitely or probably going to vote for the Democratic candidate for president in the 2020 election, while about a quarter (22%) said they were planning to vote for Trump. Millennial voters, similarly, were much more likely to say they plan to support a Democrat in November than Trump (58% vs. 25%). Larger shares of Gen X voters (37%), Boomers (44%) and Silents (53%) said they plan to support President Trump.

Younger generations see family, societal change as a good thing

Across a number of measures, Gen Zers and Millennials stand out from older generations in their views of family and societal change. Roughly half of Gen Zers (48%) and Millennials (47%) say gay and lesbian couples being allowed to marry is a good thing for our society. By comparison, only one-third of Gen Xers and about one-quarter of Boomers (27%) say this is a good thing. Pluralities of Boomers and Gen Xers say it doesn't make a difference. Members of the Silent Generation are the most likely to view this as a bad thing for society.

There is a similar pattern in views of people of different races marrying each other, with larger shares of Millennials and Gen Zers saying this is a good thing for our society, compared with older generations. Very few across generations say this is a bad thing for society.

Gen Zers and Millennials are less likely than older generations to say that single women raising children on their own is a bad thing for society. Still, relatively few in both generations say this is a good thing for society, while about half say it doesn't make much difference (roughly similar to the shares among older generations).

When it comes to their own home life, the experiences of Gen Z reflect, in part, broad trends that have reshaped the American family in recent decades. According to a Pew Research Center analysis of Census Bureau data, about three-in-ten (29%) live in a household with an unmarried parent while 66% live with two married parents. A roughly comparable share of Millennials (69%) lived with two married parents at a similar age, but the shares among Gen Xers and Boomers were significantly larger (72% and 86%). Of those Gen Zers who are living with two married parents, in most cases both of those parents are in the labor force (64%). This compares with a slightly higher share of Millennials who were living with two parents at a comparable age (66% had two parents in the labor force) and a slightly lower share of Gen Xers (61%).

Generations differ in their familiarity and comfort with using gender-neutral pronouns

Ideas about gender identity are rapidly changing in the U.S., and Gen Z is at the front end of those changes. Gen Zers are much more likely than those in older generations to say they personally know someone who prefers to go by gender-neutral pronouns, with 35% saying so, compared with 25% of Millennials, 16% of Gen Xers, 12% of Boomers and just 7% of Silents. This generational pattern is evident among both Democrats and Republicans.

There are also stark generational differences in views of how gender options are presented on official documents. Gen Z is by far the most likely to say that when a form or online profile asks about a person's gender it should include options other than "man" and "woman." About six-in-ten Gen Zers (59%) say forms or online profiles should include additional gender options, compared with half of Millennials, about four-in-ten Gen Xers and Boomers (40% and 37%, respectively) and roughly a third of those in the Silent Generation (32%).

These views vary widely along partisan lines, and there are generational differences within each party coalition. But those differences are sharpest among Republicans: About four-in-ten Republican Gen Zers (41%) think forms should include additional gender options, compared with 27% of Republican Millennials, 17% of Gen Xers and Boomers and 16% of Silents. Among Democrats, half or more in all generations say this.

Gen Zers are similar to Millennials in their comfort with using gender-neutral pronouns. Both groups express somewhat higher levels of comfort than other generations, though generational differences on this question are fairly modest. Majorities of Gen Zers and Millennials say they would feel "very" or "somewhat" comfortable using a gender-neutral pronoun to refer to someone if asked to do so. By comparison, Gen Xers and Boomers are about evenly divided: About as many say they would feel at least somewhat comfortable (49% and 50%, respectively) as say they would be uncomfortable.

Members of Gen Z are also similar to Millennials in their views on society's acceptance of those who do not identify as a man or a woman. Roughly half of Gen Zers (50%) and Millennials (47%) think that society is not accepting enough of these individuals. Smaller shares of Gen Xers (39%), Boomers (36%) and those in the Silent Generation (32%) say the same.

Here again there are large partisan gaps, and Gen Z Republicans stand apart from other generations of Republicans in their views. About three-in-ten Republican Gen Zers (28%) say that society is not accepting enough of people who don't identify as a man or woman, compared with two-in-ten Millennials, 15% of Gen Xers, 13% of Boomers and 11% of Silents. Democrats' views are nearly uniform across generations in saying that society is not accepting enough of people who don't identify as a man or a woman.

Teens and technology

Looking at the relationship American teens have with technology provides a window into the experiences of a significant segment of Generation Z. According to a 2018 Pew Research Center survey, 95% of 13- to 17-year-olds have access to a smartphone, and a similar share (97%) use at least one of seven major online platforms.

YouTube, Instagram and Snapchat are among teens' favorite online destinations. Some 85% say they use YouTube, 72% use Instagram and 69% use Snapchat. Facebook is less popular with teens - 51% say they use this social media site. Some 45% of teens say they are online "almost constantly," and an additional 44% say they're online several times a day.

Some researchers have suggested that the growing amount of time teens are spending on their mobile devices, and specifically on social media, is contributing to the growth in anxiety and depression among this group. Teens have mixed views on whether social media has had a positive or negative effect on their generation. About three-in-ten (31%) say the effect on people their own age has been mostly positive, 24% say it's been mostly negative, and 45% say it's been neither positive nor negative.

Many teens who say social media has had a positive effect say a major reason they feel this way is because it helps them stay connected with friends and family (40% of teens who say social media has a mostly positive effect say this). For those who see the effect of social media as negative, the most common reason cited is that it leads to bullying and rumor spreading (27% of teens who say social media has a mostly negative effect say this).
