The younger generation does not want to work at all, let alone work as their parents and employers sound the alarm.

Generations change. In any team you can meet representatives of different age groups. Only recently, we wondered how the life priorities of millennials and baby boomers differ. They were replaced by new generations Z and Alpha. Who they are today, this youthHow will the world be governed by them? About this today and will tell the editors "Site".

First, let’s look at where these generations came from. In the early 90’s, two scientists – Neil Gove and William Strauss – developed the concept of generation cycles that repeat with some periodicity in the United States. Their book was a staggering success, and today many leaders, teachers and parents often turn to the pages of this book. Scientists tried to accurately describe the nature of behavior, attitude to work, study and love of various groups of people. The fact that people of different ages have absolutely different attitudes to life can be easily observed in the collective.



The oldest, who today can be found in any enterprise or in a government institution, are “baby boomers”. They are responsible, purposeful, used to doing everything right, often workaholics and work in the same organization almost all their lives. For them, the most important thing in life is stability. Therefore, changing jobs or moving to another job for baby boomers is the most difficult thing in life. In their lives, everything develops consistently: education, family, work, home life. It's clear and rational. For them, working from 8 to 17 five days a week is the best schedule in the world. Weekends, holidays, vacations on schedule - it seems that their world will stand forever and indestructibly.



The second representatives, who are often found in offices and firms, are Generation X. They still often choose stability and average income. They usually go to work and make all the decisions in their lives. The only thing I was disappointed in was family values. This generation is often divorced or single. This perception of their world was formed due to the lifestyle of their parents. Their parents, the baby boomers, had to work hard and raise the country. Therefore, the "ix" believe that independence and independence are the main qualities in life. Work is seen as a tool for a normal life.



Peels Young people prefer to travel and learn new skills But who really does not like to work for the sake of work, so it is “generation Y”. They're also called millennials. For them, the most important thing in life is freedom and the ability to combine work and hobbies. Millennials are constantly searching for themselves and their place in the world. They often change the scope and direction of work. It is important for them to feel important in a global sense. Players do not agree to be just a cog in the overall system, they are unique and unique. Millennials are not just witnesses to the development of the technological world, they are participants in it. They were the first users of social networks and the Internet. They adapted to remote work faster than their older comrades amid the pandemic. For them, the work schedule from 8 to 17 and two weekends are unacceptable. They require a creative approach to work and more opportunities to spend time with family and friends.



Generations that change the world and their environment To replace millennials, a new “Generation Z” is growing up. All children born after 2010 belong to this generation. This generation is completely dependent on the Internet and technology. They are much easier to communicate online, they like to travel and be free from schedules. They plan to live their lives brightly and do not intend to spend it in stuffy offices and factories. Their lives are a constant stream of information and creative ideas. Today, it is these 20-year-olds who are launching startups and new programs. These are working young people. They want to make life easier. For them, the whole world is open in the smartphone screen, and they skillfully use all the information. For them, work should be fun, otherwise they will not stay longer than one day.



Many skeptics and people of the old formation argue that the theory of generations has no practical value. But if you look closely at people of different ages and how they feel about their lives and problem-solving, the significance of the theory becomes apparent. What do you think about generational theory? Do you believe that the younger generation can change the world, or do you see them as mindless burners of life?
