Week 3 EOC: My Demographics

The Generation I was born into was the Millennial (Generation Y) which is the youngest out of all the generations and are between the years 1980-2000. This generation is all about technology, they are racially diverse and there are 80 million in the U.S which is the largest than any other demographic group.

Issues

·         Less wealth, more debt

·         Recession- our age group are more likely to move back in with parents because of financial difficulties

·         Dependent- Rely on parents; this can be because they are privileged and they have financial support.

·         Less economically successful- Due to lack of motivation

·         Technology distractions- wrapped up in things that are both good and bad like social media, new gadgets.

*In my opinion some of these points are valid just because how society is today, teens are into the latest phones, parents still take care of their children even if they are young adults, school is not affordable for some people so everyone doesn’t get a chance to go to college.  Although those points may be valid this generation stands up for what they believe in and we all have different values.
