Abstract

As seen in Time, USA TODAY, The Atlantic, The Wall Street Journal, and on CBS This Morning, BBC, PBS, CNN, and NPR, iGen is crucial reading to understand how the children, teens, and young adults born in the mid-1990s and later are vastly different from their Millennial predecessors, and from any other generation. With generational divides wider than ever, parents, educators, and employers have an urgent need to understand today's rising generation of teens and young adults.Born in the mid-1990s up to the mid-2000s, iGen is the first generation to spend their entire adolescence in the age of the smartphone. With social media and texting replacing other activities, iGen spends less time with their friends in person-perhaps contributing to their unprecedented levels of anxiety, depression, and loneliness.But technology is not the only thing that makes iGen distinct from every generation before them; they are also different in how they spend their time, how they behave, and in their attitudes toward religion, sexuality, and politics. They socialize in completely new ways, reject once sacred social taboos, and want different things from their lives and careers. More than previous generations, they are obsessed with safety, focused on tolerance, and have no patience for inequality.With the first members of iGen just graduating from college, we all need to understand them: friends and family need to look out for them; businesses must figure out how to recruit them and sell to them; colleges and universities must know how to educate and guide them. And members of iGen also need to understand themselves as they communicate with their elders and explain their views to their older peers. Because where iGen goes, so goes our nation-and the world.

Abstract

"Parents, professeurs, éducateurs ou employeurs : nous sommes tous interpellés par l'omniprésence du téléphone portable et des technologies dans la vie de nos ados. Soucieuse d'éclairer le débat par l'analyse, Jean Twenge, professeur en psychologie de l'université de San Diego, a passé au crible cette génération qui, née à partir de 1995, a grandi avec un téléphone portable aux creux de la main. Sur base d'études significatives menées sur 11 millions d'Américains, elle a ainsi pu identifier une série d'attitudes complètement nouvelles directement liées, selon elle, à l'usage excessif des écrans, et les conclusions qu'elle tire sonnent comme autant de signaux d'alarme. Comment pouvons-nous protéger nos enfants de L'anxiété, de la dépression et de la solitude à l'ère numérique ? Comment mieux accompagner au quotidien cette génération montante, sans la juger ni tomber dans la répression facile et sans doute inefficace ? Comment les managers peuvent-ils tirer Le meilleur parti de cette nouvelle génération qui arrive sur le marché du travail ? C'est aussi à ces questions, et à bien d'autres, que tente de répondre cet ouvrage fondamental."

Abstract

In an era when half of marriages end in divorce, cohabitation has become more commonplace and those who do get married are doing so at an older age. So why do people marry when they do? And why do some couples choose to cohabit? A team of expert family sociologists examines these timely questions in Marriage and Cohabitation, the result of their research over the last decade on the issue of union formation. Situating their argument in the context of the Western world's 500-year history of marriage, the authors reveal what factors encourage marriage and cohabitation in a contemporary society wh

Abstract

The new seventh edition of Generation X: Americans Born 1965 to 1976 tells the story of the small but vital generation spanning the ages of 36 to 47 in 2012. Although their numbers are small, lifestage dictates that Generation X is a vital part of the nation s commerce and culture. People in their thirties and forties are in the crowded-nest years. They are supposed to be advancing in their careers, their incomes should be growing, and their spending should climb because of the expenses of children and teens. Generation X: Americans Born 1965 to 1976 shows how Gen Xers are coping with these de
