Does THE Generation Z exist? Generations vs. sinus milieus.

Gibt es DIE Generation Z? Generationen vs. Sinus-Milieus.

Is there actually "DIE" Generation Z? A good question, especially once you have studied the Sinus-Milieus. The Sinus Institute (Sinus Markt- und Sozialforschung GmbH) has specialized in the complex analysis of society for over 40 years. And one thing becomes clear from this analysis: the world in which young people live is also very differentiated (as you would expect).

The Sinus-Milieus

Researchers at the Sinus Institute survey various target groups in so-called life-world explorations with regard to their values, attitudes, life goals, lifestyle and social background, among other things. This data is analyzed and various clusters can be formed. These groups of like-minded people are referred to as milieus. In order to obtain a broader picture, quantitative data is also collected using a standardized questionnaire. In this way, an attempt is made to obtain as realistic a picture as possible of the socio-cultural diversity in the population under investigation, e.g. young people in Germany. Thanks to its many years of work in this field, the Institute can draw on a wealth of historical data and thus also highlight changes (longitudinal studies). The following short video provides a brief but very informative insight into the German milieus.

Christian Scholz: Generation Z. What makes them tick, what changes them and why they infect us all.

If you look at generations, you constantly stumble across two names: Klaus Hurrelmann (Shell Study) and Christian Scholz. That's why a brief insight into the second author's book is essential, especially because I personally rate it as excellent. If I had to choose between all the works on Generation Z, I would pick this one.

Youth 2019 - 18th Shell Youth Study: A generation speaks out. By Click on the image to view the book on Amazon. By Mathias Albert, Klaus Hurrelmann, Gudrun Quenzel et al.

This is actually a classic when it comes to finding out what makes "young people" tick. The big advantage: it is a long-term study, i.e. the authors can compare their data over time and thus present developments and trends very well. For this reason, the study is also one of my main sources for the lectures.

Generation Z for HR managers and executives by Rüdiger Maas. Brief insights into the book. This article is recommended for anyone who would like to deepen their knowledge from my presentation or would like to review or rework some things. It is of course also suitable for newcomers who are not familiar with the lecture and are interested in Generation Z.

Rüdiger Maas' book on Generation Z is characterized in particular by the fact that the author always gets to the point quickly. The book is therefore ideal for anyone who has little time, i.e. as the title suggests, especially HR managers and executives ;-). I read the entire book in just under 2 hours, including the foreword and bibliography.

Generation Z - the dark side of digitalization

A short article on the downsides of digitization including a video link.

A large proportion of Generation Z, also known as mobile natives, are experts at using smartphones - no wonder, they grew up with them. If you have children of your own, you have certainly observed that the little ones already know how to unlock smartphones and swipe around on them in their first year of life. That's how intuitive the system is. And right from the start, the children see how much time mom and dad spend in front of their little screens - on walks with the children or on the bench at the playground. In this way, parents are already shaping their children's relationship with the smartphone.

Incidentally, Generation Zers also differ from their predecessor generation, the millennials (also known as digital natives), who did not grow up with smartphones but "only" with PCs. On the one hand, many of Generation Z are considered multitaskers² and can work with up to five screens at the same time. Millennials still have two screens, so in this respect, Zlers seem to be a kind of Millennials on a natural speed.
