Introduction A general consensus is developed that Americans who are currently in their working age fall into four categories namely Traditionalists, baby boomers, Generation X and Generation Y. The Traditional generation is the oldest generation in the workplace, although most are now retired. Also known as the veterans, the Silent generation, the matures, the greatest generation, this generation includes individuals born before 1945, and some sources place the earliest birth year to 1922 (Tolbize
China's population is ageing. By 2050 more than a quarter of the population will be over 65 years old and young generations will face an extraordinary burden. China now has been moving toward lessening family planning restrictions in recent years because of some factors, including a looming labor crisis. China’s working age population is drastically shrinking. Based on the United Nations projects, China will lose 67 million workers from 2010 to 2030. Meanwhile, China’s elder population is expected

The Difference Between Generations In the article, “Millennial: Confident. Connected. Open to Change” by Pew Research Center, they discussed the characteristics of the millennial posses this generation. The millennial is the upbeat and energy group that is ready to change this generation. The Pew Research Center tells how this generation is evolving to be more liberal and has different plans for the government. However, they are more accepting of diversity and nontraditional ideas that older generation
Generation Me has notable differences when compared to its predecessors the Baby Boomers, as well as Generation X. This new Generation has a whole new, different set of beliefs, which in turn provides an vast supply of different characters and personality, all of which are complete strangers to the characters and personalities which were highlighted in the previous generations. In her book, Generation Me, Jean M. Twenge makes a well versed and successful effort in highlighting these differences as
Gen Z’s Pressing Issue Regarding Conformity Some of the older generations see Generation Z as the lazy, phone-addicted, technology-dependent upcoming generation, but Gen Z is much more than that. Generation Z consists of people born between 1997 and 2012. They are the future of the working class, and they value flexibility, improvement, and many more beneficial components. Gen Z grew up on the internet and social media and will never know what life would be like without technology. Technology has
Who are the millennials? The article states “they are born between 1980 and 2000—are both the 20th century’s last generation and its first truly digital one (Donnely, C., & Scaff, R). The millennials are a much larger demographic than what we know about the prior generation notably called the ‘Babyboomers’. The difference between the two generation is by no means subtle. The latter generations central focus during “the postwar era looked forward to having children because they were confident that
Millennials will change jobs more than any generation, and prefer a fun and flexible workplace. Working hours is another major preference point, where Baby Boomers, Generation Xers, and Millennials prefer flexible work schedules. Millennials are characterized as not working more hours than they need and are definitely not workaholics. Regarding career development, Millennials want to have meaningful jobs and receive instant recognition, while Baby Boomers are on the opposite of the spectrum, and
The baby boomers are the generation born after World War II, from 1946 to 1964. They have been described as hard-working, independent, goal-oriented and competitive. They have also been nicknamed the “me generation”, they value success and see both groups have an anti establishment mentality. This means that they desire and value independent living. Some ways that I can leverage my Boomer knowledge to build intergenerational relations is to build a greater sense of community and reach people across
As a new generation retires, it is inevitable that a new one will take over. The millennial generation has started to take the reins from past generations. The number of millennials in the workforce is relatively high, as baby boomers and traditionalists retire. However, with the presence of three or more generations working together, it is no surprise that there are miscommunications. The way that millennials express themselves is completely different from the silent generation. Every generation
Introduction Each generation can be defined by shared characteristics, values, work ethics, and opinions. As each generation grows older they leave their mark on society and pave the way for the next generation to pick up where they left off with new contributions, ideas, and goals. In the summer of 2004 the first “millennials” graduated college and entered the workforce and with each additional year this generation makes up more and more of the workforce (Hershatter & Epstein, 2010). Like all generations
“The workplace has become a psychological battlefield and millennials have the upper hand, because they are tech savy, with every gadget imaginable almost becoming an extension of their bodies. They multitask, talk, walk, listen and type, and text. And their priorities are simple: they come first.” (Safer, 2008). There are many criticisms revolving around millennials in many aspects and this includes their workplace performance. It has been claimed that millennials have different expectations of
The term millenial is increasingly becoming a bad word. Most millenials are ashamed of their generation based on judgements made by other generations. These young adults are labeled as “cocky”, “exempt from rules”, the “selfie generation” and told that they are not worth anyone’s time (Mayra, Jimenez “A Gen-Xer's Rant: What's Wrong with My Millennial Employees?”). This stereotype has been pushed on them mainly by the generation before, generation X, and has permanently tarnished the reputation of
I really appreciate your help with this. I am “investigating” the styles of interpersonal communication of the Generation X and the Millennial to later compare with Baby Boomers. The questions are only a guide. You don’t have to respond to each question, you can respond to all, some, or write a paragraph that will incorporate all or most of the question any way you want, my only request is that you try to elaborate. I am interested on knowing how people in your generation communicate most often and
Is there really a laziest generation? The article, “Is Generation Z the Laziest Generation Ever?,” by Teen Ink, talks about how GenZ isn’t the laziest generation ever. Generation Z is not the laziest generation because although Gen Z appears lazy when older people see them, but it’s only because of how much they actually have to do, and the people in this generation are well acquainted with technology and technology is the future of this world. Older generations will say that GenZ is the laziest
Today’s workplace population spans over four generations including traditionalists/the silent generation (born between 1925-1945), baby boomers (born between 1946-1964), Generation X (born between 1965-1980), and Generation Y/Millennial (born between 1981 and 2000) (Frandsen, 2013; Jones, 2017). A generation is a selection of people that are born within the same age span, experiencing similar social events and historical process, and demonstrates a specific range of qualities that distinguishes one
