“LWe are exhausting ourselves and they are discouraged» he attests a new worldwide report conducted by the company of GWI global market research on over 900,000 people belonging to the so-called GenZ.
From the investigation AndIndeed, emerged that a new form of anxiety no longer for performance, but generalized and identitarian and the lack of parents and adults of reference able to show them the future is putting those born between 1997 and 2012 in crisis.
GenZ, do the “exhausted” replace the “big boys”?
In short, if i Millennials (those born between the early 1980s and mid 1990s) were “big babies” and “slie down”, the young people of Generation Z are the “exhausted”. But one must be careful to give the right meaning to the term.
Those who cross today that age which goes from adolescence to 30 years, in fact, are not “lazy” at all but rather they have the perception of being on the edge of a precipice.
GenZ is often referred to as “lazy” but that’s just prejudice
Great fears and few certainties
Blame the pandemic, sure. But their fragility is also due to parents and adultswho feel fragile themselves, e they fail to understand their identitiesnor to welcome them as they are or as they would like to be.
They are unable to listen to their requests and their fearsbut they have very high expectations on their performance starting from their studies.
And all this turns for young people into a mental fatigue from which they are crushedso much so that when they enter the world of work for the first time, they already feel demotivated and tired.
GenZ isn’t lazy, it’s scared
There GenZ is often referred to as “lazy” but they are only prejudices that do not reflect the truth. This does not mean that the past years, difficult for everyone, have also affected the boys a lot.
From Covidin fact, the years that followed were characterized, from the economic crisis, from the start of a war, from the cost of living crisis, from inflation. Certainly not a good ground to start working.
Travel less and fight less for your ideals
But the report does not speak only of career: why tiredness also affects personal interests and free time. They have lost (8%) interest in traveling and exploring the world e they are less passionate about the climate emergency and to carry forward the requests for the defense of the environment.
And suffers from more anxiety than any other generation
Teens are paying a hefty bill, the research reads: 10% say they have some form of mental disorder and 3 out of 10 are prone to anxiety, the highest proportion among all age groups.
However, the pandemic, despite being part of the causes that have caused this state, it has only exacerbated a suffering already present in boys and girls.
Which unfortunately collides with an ever greater difficulty of parents, teachers, institutions to perceive it, listen to it and welcome it. Erroneously convincing children and students that they should be the ones to worry about the frailties of adults.
