In China, we call those born (出生) after 2000 the "post-00s"generation (00 后). In English, young people born between the mid-1990s and 2010 have another name-Generation Z or Gen Z.
Thanks to social media (社交媒体), more people know about small problems, and only a small number of young people care about them. So, some people describe this generation as thinking little about others. However, Gen Z is, in fact, more grounded (踏实的) than people think.
A study by Bank of America showed that over half of young people aged between 18 and 23 planned to buy a house in 5 years. "They are not just thinking about it,"said a work at Bank of America. "They are doing something about it. " To make their dream come true, Gen Z would choose to save for a down payment ( 首 付 ), not to go shopping or take a vacation.
This is not only in the United States. In Europe and Japan, Gen Z thinks a lot before buying things. They like to buy things they need more. That's because they saw the things their parents went through during the 2008 financial crisis (金融危机).
Social problems are also a center of worries for Gen Z. They think they are able to play a big role in making the world better. In India, young people choose a new leader who is able to help with most of their problems. "I went to the villages and saw how girls there lived. Keeping women safe is the most important for me. " said Monica Donald, 20, an Indian student.
