Age & Generations

The United Nations is broadly credited with promoting peace and human rights as younger adults are more supportive of cooperation with other countries.

38% of parents with children whose K-12 schools closed in the spring said that their child was likely to face digital obstacles in schoolwork.

While teens in the United States take after their parents religiously in many ways, they stand out in some others.

American adolescents often participate at parents’ behest, and tend to be less religious in more personal, private ways.

The share of 18- to 29-year-olds living with their parents has become a majority since U.S. coronavirus cases began spreading early this year.

Between February and June 2020, the share of young adults who are neither enrolled in school nor employed has more than doubled.

Two-thirds of parents in the U.S. say parenting is harder today than it was 20 years ago, with many citing technologies – like social media or smartphones – as a reason.

32% of U.S. social media users say they have used these sites in the past month to encourage others to take action on issues.

Those ages 18 to 29 differ from older Americans in their news consumption habits and in their responses to major news events and coverage.

Even as they age, younger generations in the U.S. tend to be more favorably disposed to groups, leaders and countries beyond their border.
