| Research on the Gen-Z generation and their attitudes toward the labor market |
| People in their twenties are working part-time much more often, Brabants Dagblad writes, mainly to have the freedom to do what is important to them. This trend compares poorly with the situation on the labor market and the aging population. This is one of the reasons why Tilburg University has plans to conduct research from the Academic Collaborative Center with various parties on the Gen-Z generation (born between 1995 and 2012) and their attitude toward the labor market. |
