The poll also highlighted that Gen Zers are not afraid to question workplace norms and make their voices heard. However, it remains to be seen how their ideals will evolve as they age and as the economy shifts, especially in the event of a deeper recession.
Key takeaways:
- Generation Z is almost evenly split in their support for capitalism (29%) and socialism (28%), according to a survey conducted by Business Insider and YouGov.
- While Gen Zers are not opposed to capitalist ideas like private home ownership and entrepreneurship, they have concerns about the high costs of housing and education, the healthcare system, and general inequality in the country.
- Gen Z has been vocal about their beliefs in the workplace, questioning norms and pushing boundaries. Their ideals may evolve as they age and as the economy shifts.
- Despite the pandemic, many Gen Zers ended up better off financially due to white-collar jobs being largely spared. However, if a deeper recession were to hit, they might find it harder to voice their opinions.
