Gen Z: Socially Engaged

An accusation traditionally directed at any younger generation is that they're not socially and politically engaged enough and are perhaps not doing all they could to move the world in the right direction. A recent Deloitte survey of people in the cohort referred to as 'Generation Z' (born between 1995 and 2003), reveals that for a large share this couldn't be further from the truth.

As our infographic shows, over half of the 8,273 global survey participants said they had donated to charity in the past two years, while at least a third were involved in a wide range of socially engaged activities and actions - from attending a protest or march, to making a career decision based on their own ethical values.
