This pandemic has been a wild ride for everyone, especially for young Millennials and Generation Z.
These teens and 20-somethings are dealing with some turbulent stuff -- mental health issues, remote learning, a rocky economy and job market -- during some pivotal life stages.
On the other hand, what happened in 2020 made many young people far more aware of politics and activism, and their generation is set to take over the economy in just a decade.
So what are the specific ups and downs they’re going to be facing between now and then, and how are they going to handle them?
We’re asking those questions to three people: a Gen Zer, a young Millennial, and a researcher who studies their generations’ cultures, habits and lives.
