However, Gen Z adults are also less likely to own a home, be married or have children. Pew surveyed about 1,500 adults between the ages of 18 and 34 and more than 3,000 parents of adult children. Gen Z is generally defined as those born between 1996 and 2012, including a cohort of teens and tweens. Now, 25% of young adults live in a multigenerational household, up from just 9% five decades ago. Meanwhile, as living with mom and dad has become more common for young adults — it's also more socially acceptable, according to Parker.

Men largely kept their last names at 92%, while 5% changed their last names, and less than 1% hyphenated their names with their partner’s last name, the data showed. The tradition of women changing their names upon marriage is still strong in the United States, but views on marriage have been changing, the survey said. Most married women in opposite-sex relationships — nearly 80% — said they took their husband’s last name. Women who are not married were significantly less likely to report plans to take their partner’s last name. Why women change their namesWhy is it so common for women in the US to take their husband’s name in an opposite-sex marriage?

Gen Z is soft, millennials are embarrassing, boomers are evil, and no one has thought about Gen X in years. But late this spring, Pew announced it would no longer use generational labels such as millennial and Gen Z in its research. By and large, Cohen shares Duffy's view that generational labels make it tough for both experts and laypeople to distinguish between generational traits and universal, or multifactorial, occurrences. To its credit, Pew has been transparent in acknowledging how the use of generational labels may have tilted its analyses. Pew "does believe generational research can be a useful tool in the right context," Parker told me.

CNN —There’s nearly a 50-year age gap between the oldest Baby Boomer and the youngest member of Gen Z. As Pew President Michael Dimock put it, a common misconception about Baby Boomers’ past serves as a reminder of a key question we should be asking as we talk about Gen Z today. Cultural critic Louis Menand has pointed out that another important detail often gets overlooked when talking about this chapter in Baby Boomers’ past. And Gen Z may not be as ‘woke’ as you thinkCould our understanding of Gen Z’s politics – frequently described as liberal – also be missing part of the picture? Joe Raedle/Getty Images“In poll after poll, we have found enormous diversity among Gen Z and their views,” she says.

46% of American workers take less paid time off than they are offered, per the Pew Research Center. Respondents worry taking time off will slow down their career advancement, among other concerns. They found that nearly46% of American workers aren't taking all of their allotted paid time off. Lower-income workers said they were "more likely" to worry about losing their jobs for taking all of their time off than "middle and upper-income workers." Workers "want to know they can take time off when they need it," she said, "but this new data shows us that many workers don't. "
