The Uprise of Millennials

The most studied and talked about generation to date is Millennials. They are the first generation in history that have grown up totally immersed in a world of digital technology, which has shaped their identities and created lasting political, social, and cultural attitudes.

Millennials, also known as Generation Y, is a generational cohort born between the years of 1980 to 2000. They have experienced a unique way of life that changed the way their parents lived, worked and consumed products. Their lifestyles and attitudes of the millennial generation is one of the fundamental causes of the rapidly changing world and how things are done.

Mainstream media has characterised Millennials as lazy, narcissistic, and entitled selfie-lovers, could this be because of their upbringing and how their parents' perception of life differed from the world we live in today?

Millennials are the largest generation in Western history. It was estimated in 2012 that there are approximately 16.8 million Millennials in the UK aged 18-36 (according to the official UK statistics on statista.com)

In 2017 UK Millennials became the largest generation in the workforce as a record number of Baby Boomers headed to retirement.

Below we give you an unbiased view of millennials as we see them today: -
