Understanding Gen Z's Economic Experiences
Gen Z is observed to have segmented into three distinct cohorts, influenced largely by their experiences during the pandemic and economic turmoil. The first cohort, often referred to as Generation Z 1.0, includes individuals who graduated into a pre-pandemic world, maintaining a semblance of stability before the drastic changes brought about by COVID-19. The second group, referred to as the COVID cohort, includes those who completed their education under lockdown and have developed unique economic perspectives shaped by their formative years. The latest cohort consists of digital natives who have integrated technology as a core aspect of their lives, often influencing their economic choices and interactions with the world around them.
