By the midterm elections this November, Americans born after 2000 will be eligible to vote for the first time. As gen-Z comes into political maturity, it’s important not only for politicians, but also corporations, to understand where these newly-independent consumers stand on a host of socio-political issues.
While political polarization has been on the rise in the U.S., in many ways the 2016 presidential election was a collective moment of realization of just how far apart Americans are.
Young vs. old, left vs. right, urban vs. rural – since the election, understandings of “other segments” are frequently discussed. However, many of these conceptions are constructed through stereotypes and anecdotes instead of data.
It’s no secret that the demographics of the United States are shifting. White Americans comprise just above half of the youngest two generations, while they remain a strong majority in older generations.
Never has the makeup of the country become such a core part of the national discourse as in the lead-up to the 2016 election.
