Leading Gen Z experts release THE book on everything you need to know about Generation Z
Research points to vast differences between Millennials and Generation Z
SAN FRANCISCO and NASHVILLE, Tenn., Jan. 15, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Generation Z, which is comprised of today's youth and young adults, has received little attention compared to the Millennial generation. Yet, those in Generation Z are among our youngest consumers, students, colleagues, constituents, voters, and neighbors. Being able to better understand who they are and how they see the world can be helpful in effectively working with, teaching, supervising, and leading them.
Generation Z: A Century in the Making (www.thegenzhub.com), by Dr. Corey Seemiller and Meghan Grace, offers insight into nearly every aspect of the lives of Generation Z, including career aspirations, religious beliefs and practices, hobbies, social concerns, relationships with friends and family, health and wellness, money management, civic engagement, communication styles, political ideologies, technology use, and educational preferences.
