"The bottom line: Millennials are looking good. There's a lot of consternation about the Millennial generation--Canada's youngest adults born since the mid-1980s and now reaching their thirties. But the speculation has not been accompanied by sound and comprehensive information--until now. Highly respected sociologist and veteran trend-tracker Reginald Bibby teams up with two GenX colleagues, Joel Thiessen and Monetta Bailey, to provide an up-to-date reading on how Millennials see the world--their values, joys, and concerns, their views of family, sexuality, spirituality, and other Canadians, and their hopes and expectations as they look to the future. Canada's much-criticized Millennials may well be a solid upgrade on previous generations--speaking well for the country's future."--

"This essential text explores the concept of 'Me-Marriage'-a marital relationship which blends individualized life goals and interests-and draws from research on the current benefits and costs of marriage to consider how to achieve success, both individually and relationally. Chapters explore the larger patterns at play and identify the trends about what a modern 'healthy marriage' looks like for this new generation. Brian J. Willoughby combines a review of the latest social science research on the benefits and costs of marriage with new quantitative and qualitative data from married and single adults. The book explores how marriage has fundamentally shifted in the western world due to the changing values and approaches to relationships by the millennial generation that is now largely transitioning to marriage. This book is an ideal text for clinicians and practitioners looking for guidance on how to understand the increasingly complex ways that adults are navigating their relationship landscape (particularly those working with young married populations), as well as students and scholars in the fields of psychology, family studies, and sociology and those interested in individual development, relational development, and demographic trends on the family"--

Today the Millennial generation, the cohort born from the early 1980s to the late 1990s, is the largest generation in the United States. It exceeds one-quarter of the population and is the most diverse generation in U.S. history. Millennials grew up experiencing September 11, the global proliferation of the Internet and of smart phones, and the worst economic recession since the Great Depression of the 1930s. Their young adulthood has been marked by rates of unemployment and underemployment surpassing those of their parents and grandparents, making them the first generation in the modern era to have higher rates of poverty than their predecessors at the same age. The Politics of Millennials explores the factors that shape the Millennial generation's unique political identity, how this identity conditions political choices, and how this cohort's diversity informs political attitudes and beliefs. Few scholars have empirically identified and studied the political attitudes and policy preferences of Millennials, despite the size and influence of this generation. This book explores politics from a generational perspective, first, and then combines this with other group identities that include race and ethnicity to bring a new perspective to how we examine identity politics.

Millennials and Media Ecology explores issues pertaining to millennials and digital media ecology and studies the cultural, pedagogical, and political environments such heterogeneous generation populates.

Engaging with topical subject matter and current research on millennials, the chapters: Question the misunderstanding that digital tools and Internet technologies are making the younger generation 'dumber' and 'disengaging' them from the real world Underscore the legal and economic insights into the commodification of the younger generation as consumers rather than learners Examine the historical trajectory of media technology, and whether new practices are having an empowering effect or one of enslavement to an increasingly irreversible technological and socio-political regime Shed light on issues of critical pedagogy emerging from digital environments in relation to one's mental abilities and degrees of wisdom Discuss the cultural and political implications of millennials' new media trends, the changing relationship between millennials and legacy media, which rely on the younger generation for survival;Offer new insights into the significance of current media trends in relation to issue of credibility and identity.

Narcissiques mais engagés, nonchalants mais hyperactifs, slasheurs mais en quête de stabilité… Et si les millennials n’existaient pas ? Derrière cet énième mythe générationnel : une armée de marketeurs et autres consultants avides d’alimenter la machine à poncifs pour faire tourner un juteux business. Pourtant, cette obsession pour les générations est un véritable piège. Les victimes ? Les entreprises… perdues face au monde qui vient, elles s’accrochent désespérément aux branches fragiles d’études plus douteuses les unes que les autres. Mais surtout : la jeunesse, réduite à une vision fantasmée et absurde, quand elle n’est pas mobilisée à ses dépens pour justifier une ubérisation accélérée de la société et un jeunisme sans limite. À force d’avoir dépeint des générations imaginaires pour tenter de décrypter un monde angoissant qui nous échappe, serions-nous en train de passer à côté d’une grande dépression – cette fois-ci vraiment générationnelle ?
