Study vindicates them: Post-millennial generation is more ambitious and striving for success
The post-millennial generation has been widely portrayed as irresponsible, but a global study has revealed contrasting information, stating that they are quite the opposite.
The major surprise is that they surpass other generations in ambition, diligence, and perseverance in their pursuit of success. The study also showed that girls of this generation aspire to power, leadership, and significant social status. Researchers attributed this to their upbringing in digital societies, where women’s achievements are constantly showcased on social media.
The study also revealed that 44% of Generation Z individuals, in general, are interested in success and accomplishments, a lower percentage among other generations. Furthermore, the study indicated that 32% of post-millennials are interested in wealth, which experts consider a necessary incentive, especially in the face of economic challenges.
Since success does not contradict self-enjoyment, 43% of Generation Z individuals emphasized the importance of enjoying one’s time while striving for their ambitions.
In an interview on the morning program on Sky News Arabia, psychological and social consultant Amal Radwan said:
