Stimulus 3
Context: Online news article
Born between 1995 and 2010, the youngest members of Gen Z are beginning to enter the workforce.
Frequently stereotyped as tech-obsessed, entitled and unreliable, this latest generation is set to shake up
the world of work – for the better.
According to leading researcher, Claire Madden, ‘Gen Z comes in very empowered, often more agile and
adaptive with technology. They have skills central to today’s workplace, meaning they can be promoted at a
faster rate.’ So, is Gen Z really entitled and tech-obsessed or are these dynamic, driven professionals
simply meeting the demands of a 21st century workplace?
