La génération du mieux-travailler. Un bon job, du temps libre, mais aussi un engagement éthique : les revendications des 20-30 ans pourraient changer nos vies professionnelles, affirme ce grand hebdomadaire allemand.
En bien. Pour beaucoup, Fifi Brindacier, la gamine indépendante inventée par la Suédoise Astrid Lindgren, est l’héroïne d’enfance par excellence. On en énumère tous les prénoms et on peut relater sans fin ses bêtises. Fifi fait mauvais effet dans un monde hiérarchisé, de policiers et de maîtresses d’école, car elle fait ce qu’elle veut. Et elle veut s’amuser. On pourrait parfaitement qualifier la génération des trentenaires qui explorent actuellement avec assurance le marché du travail allemand de “génération Fifi”. Un ado se sert d'Internet pour créer un outil de dépistage du cancer du pancréas. 01net le 04/03/13 à 19h55 Après la génération Y, voici la génération Z !
Jack Andraka, un adolescent de 16 ans que rien ne prédestinait à la médecine, a raconté lors d'une conférence en Californie (ouest des Etats-Unis) comment il avait mis au point, grâce à Internet, un outil bon marché de dépistage du cancer du pancréas. « Grâce à Internet, tout est possible. On peut faire tellement plus de choses que mettre en ligne des photos de soi-même en train de faire la grimace, a-t-il déclaré à l'occasion de la prestigieuse Conférence TED de Long Beach (Etats-Unis).
L'adolescent a raconté comment il avait commencé à s'intéresser au cancer du pancréas il y a trois ans, après qu'un membre de sa famille y eut succombé. Il s'est alors tourné vers « les deux meilleurs amis d'un adolescent : Google et Wikipédia » et a découvert que des milliers de protéines pouvaient être détectées dans le sang d'une personne atteinte d'un cancer du pancréas.

Sociologists couldn’t do better than Bram Warshafsky, 23, as a model for the attitude shift toward home ownership that they have long predicted for his generation.
Raised in a four-bedroom house in an upper-middle-class neighbourhood in midtown Toronto, Warshafsky, the second of four boys, appreciated having enough space in the backyard to play catch. But after he finished his commerce degree at Queen’s University in 2010, moved back in with his parents and landed a job with Johnson & Johnson’s marketing division, he couldn’t justify a jump into the real estate market. He has since become what he describes as a “passionate renter.” Sitting at the dining room table in the two-bedroom condo that he and a friend have rented near the central Bloor-Yonge intersection since January, Warshafsky, a tall, lanky young man with an easy smile and a confident handshake, insists that this is not a temporary state of mind.

By 2025, the Millennial generation will make up 75% of our workforce.
But their impact on the way we work — and how we think about work — is already being felt. So what does this mean for the way we need to think about aligning, engaging, and motivating our people? This infographic explores how HR departments will need to adapt to meet the needs of Generation Y. Millennials' Judgments About Recent Trends Not So Different. This is part of a Pew Research Center series of reports exploring the behaviors, values and opinions of the teens and twenty-somethings that make up the Millennial Generation As might be expected, members of the Millennial generation are enthusiastic about the technological and communication advances of the past decade.
They are also highly accepting of societal changes such as the greater availability of green products and more racial and ethnic diversity. What may be less expected is that, in many cases, they are not much different from the age groups that precede them. Almost All Millennials Accept Interracial Dating and Marriage. This is part of a Pew Research Center series of reports exploring the behaviors, values and opinions of the teens and twenty-somethings that make up the Millennial Generation Over the last several decades, the American public has grown increasingly accepting of interracial dating and marriage.
This shift in opinion has been driven both by attitude change among individuals generally and by the fact that over the period, successive generations have reached adulthood with more racially liberal views than earlier generations. Millennials are no exception to this trend: Large majorities of 18-to-29 year olds express support for interracial marriage within their families, and the level of acceptance in this generation is greater than in other generations. This high level of acceptance among Millennials holds true across ethnic and racial groups; there is no significant difference between white, black and Hispanic Millennials in the degree of acceptance of interracial marriage.
The Millennials: Confident. Connected. Open to Change. Executive Summary Generations, like people, have personalities, and Millennials — the American teens and twenty-somethings who are making the passage into adulthood at the start of a new millennium — have begun to forge theirs: confident, self-expressive, liberal, upbeat and open to change.
They are more ethnically and racially diverse than older adults. They’re less religious, less likely to have served in the military, and are on track to become the most educated generation in American history.

Gender Equality Universally Embraced, but Inequalities Acknowledged. Men’s Lives Often Seen as Better Fifteen years after the United Nations Fourth World Conference on Women’s Beijing Platform for Action proclaimed that “shared power and responsibility should be established between women and men at home, in the workplace and in the wider national and international communities,” people around the globe embrace the document’s key principles.
Almost everywhere, solid majorities express support for gender equality and agree that women should be able to work outside the home. Most also find a marriage in which both spouses share financial and household responsibilities to be more satisfying than one in which the husband provides for the family and the wife takes care of the house and children. In addition, majorities in most countries reject the notion that higher education is more important for a boy than for a girl. These are among the findings of a 22-nation survey by the Pew Research Center’s Global Attitudes Project, conducted April 7 to May 8. Baby Boomers Approach Age 65. By D’Vera Cohn and Paul Taylor The iconic image of the Baby Boom generation is a 1960s-era snapshot of an exuberant, long-haired, rebellious young adult. That portrait wasn’t entirely accurate even then, but it’s hopelessly out of date now.
This famously huge cohort of Americans finds itself in a funk as it approaches old age.
