This research from the Pew Research Centre examines Millennials’ demographics; their political and social values; their lifestyles and life priorities; their digital technology and social media habits; and their economic and educational aspirations, finding that they are on track to become the most educated generation in American history, a trend largely driven by the demands of a modern knowledge-based economy. However, the research shows that 37% of 18- to 29-year-olds are unemployed or out of the workforce, the highest share among this age group in more than three decades.
