Generation Z (Gen Z) refers to people born roughly between 1997 and 2012. They are the most recent generation to reach adulthood — younger than millennials and older than Generation Alpha. Gen Z are known for being socially conscious, proactive when it comes to environmental protection and sustainability, and digitally savvy, having been the first generation to grow up with the internet fully fledged. Challenges faced by Gen Z include a rise in mental health struggles, possibly related to climate anxiety, the cost of living crisis and social media pressures.
