I found this such an interesting article. Gen Z is a pioneer generation, imv. I hope they lead us to a better society and future.

For those of you who are Gen Z, would you agree with the observations in the article?

    "Results from this masthead’s Resolve Political Monitor showed young Australian men were swinging back towards left-wing candidates in the middle of the Australian election campaign, with only modest differences between young men’s and women’s voting intentions on a two-party basis. "

    Literally from the article you posted. Guess how Gen z voted in the election.

      The claim in the article was

      Gen Z is the most socially progressive generation in Australian history.

      This is not shown in data, which indicates that Millenials are more socially progressive than Gen Z.

      The results also show 15- to 24-year-olds in 2023 were not only more conservative compared to older generations, but also compared to 15- to 24-year-olds in 2016.

      From the SMH article I linked, which is in line with other polling. Kosmos interpretation of the data and represenation of Gen Z as more progressive than previous generations appears to be false based on polling data.

      What you’ve quoted has literally no bearing on the fact that Gen Z are more socially conservative than previous generations.

      They are separate data points. I’m not sure how to break this down further for you.
