How will GENERATION Z change Austin?
It is a pleasure to inform you that the next edition of Forefront Austin has been released. This month's BIG question: How will GENERATION Z change Austin? If you are like me, you may not have been aware that generation Z has arrived. Well they have! In fact, I have a gen Z living in my house, my youngest daughter Lucy, who is 11 years old. Here is how the generations breakdown:
"Boomers (1946 -1964) reflected post-war optimism with a huge population surge and increased consumerism. Generation X (1968 - 1982) redefined family and work as a reaction to those overworking, divorcing Baby Boomers. Generation Y (1982 - 1995) are team players who follow the rules in response to Gen X's self-directed, rule-breaking outsider ways."
"So what is Generation Z (1995 through today) going to bring us other than fierce iPhone skills?" Come on over to Forefront Austin to find out. Don't miss the excellent perspective from Austin Independent School District, including the entertaining slide show of past and future classrooms. A fabulous infographic from Forefront editor Abby Sandlin, titled 'Talking about my generation: Boomers to GenZ.' A question and answer interview with Mark Kliester of Boys and Girls Club of Austin titled: 'Putting the breaks on the poverty cycle'. And lastly, a trifecta persepective on teen pregnancy from AISD, LifeWorks, and Planned Parenthood of Texas.
