Abstract

Generation Z is a cohort of contrasts - youth growing with a life fuller of possibilities than ever before, but also into a world filled with challenges. Born between approximately the mid-1990s and 2010s, they are no longer children, but emerging as today and tomorrow’s leaders, innovators, and entrepreneurs.
