Millennials value experiences, personalization, authenticity, and transparency. They appreciate companies that are socially and environmentally conscious, and also value flexibility, communication, and collaboration.
Strauss and Howe ascribe seven basic traits to the millennial cohort: special, sheltered, confident, team-oriented, conventional, pressured, and achieving.
Flexible and in control. More than anything, Millennials — those born from the early 1980s to early 2000s — want control of their lives, so build the tools that give them control. Millennial is not simply a generation. It is an attitude that is reaching across generations.
This most health-conscious generation takes a holistic perspective on health. They simultaneously work on their physical elements, appearance, and mental health, and are happy to mix and match traditional and cutting-edge technologies.
Even though they may seem very different than you, Millennials as a group do not show any significant differences in personality from any other generation. In other words, no generation is marked by a specific personality type. People within and between generations are equally different in terms of personality.
2019. The term "Millennials" refers to the generation born in the period between the early 1980s and the 2000s. There is no unambiguous definition of the Millennium generation.
The Deloitte and Robin surveys both show that Gen Z and millennials want a better work-life balance, better learning and development opportunities, improved mental health and wellness support, and a greater commitment from businesses to make a positive societal impact.
Mental Health Issues. With all the challenges millennials face every single day – from financial to personal aspects, it is no wonder that they feel stressed out, anxious and depressed. A study found out that one in every 5 millennials struggle with depression.
The New York Times cites that they've been called, “narcissistic, lazy, and indecisive. Millennials have been labeled the boomerang generation for the many unable or unwilling to leave their parents' home, or even more negatively, the Peter Pan generation because they supposedly won't grow up.”
Cultural Acceptance
The Millennial Generation can accept novel things. Hence, Millennials are able to work with other people easily and accept diverse cultures. Unlike previous generations, the Millennial Generation is more tolerant of different races, religions, and cultures (Sa'aban et al., 2013).
It was coined to describe the generational cohort of people born between 1980 and 2000. One of the reasons behind the name is the fact that the oldest millennials were graduating high school in the year 2000 (the beginning of the new millennium).
A Millennial is anyone born between 1980 and 1995. In the U.S., there are roughly 80 million Millennials. A member of Gen Z is anyone born between 1996 and the early-mid 2000s (end date can vary depending on source).
It refers to a split-second beat at the beginning of a video to ensure the camera is recording before speaking. It's a moment you could easily miss, but once you're onto it, the millennial pause becomes glaringly obvious in all millennial-made content.
The introverted millennial
The study found 59 percent of millennials are introverted Business Chemistry types, significantly more than Gen Xers, at 46 percent, and baby boomers at 43 percent.
Researchers and popular media use the early to mid 2010s as starting birth years and the mid 2020s as ending birth years. Named after the first letter in the Greek alphabet, Generation Alpha is the first to be born entirely in the 21st century. Most members of Generation Alpha are the children of Millennials.
Gen Alpha is the generation following Gen Z and currently includes all children born in or after 2010—the same year the iPad was born. The majority of this demographic is under 12 years of age, but the oldest of them will become teens in 2022.
Generation Alpha are defined as those born from 2010-2024. More than 2.5 million are born globally every week.
