Pew Research Center Studies Gen Z
Pew Research Center published “On the Cusp of Adulthood and Facing an Uncertain Future: What We Know About Gen Z So Far,” by Kim Parker and Ruth Igielnik, which states the following: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. Parker and Igielnik go on to explore areas such as ethnic diversity, education, and viewpoints on major issues with regard to Gen Z. For more information, read the essay.
