What Type Of Millennials Are Your Ukrainian Woman and You?
06/28/2017
Who are millennials? Are you the one? Does your Ukrainian Girlfriend belong to the Millenial Generation? This is a generation born in the late eighties and early nineties. The word "Millennials" was invented and put into use by William Strauss and Neil Hove, who wrote several research books on this topic. The "millennials" are full of other names given to them by sociologists and journalists - the "Next generation", "the generation of Peter Pan", and "Generation Y". But what are they? To understand this, experts from Exponential Company conducted a large-scale (4 million people involved) study, which resulted in a classification of 12 subgroups of the Y generation. According to Brian Melmed, vice president of Exponential, each group is more determined by a characteristic reaction to the economy, globalization, and social media.

Characteristics: Very active in social networks, active and as buyers - 71% of young mothers earn their living. The concern is that everywhere and everything is in time, concern for one's health.

MARTHA STEWART OF THE GENERATION Y
Who are they: Young millennials, who themselves form their own social content and with its help show that everything stylish and supposedly difficult in reality is very simple. To some extent, this is the version of Martha Stewart (an American business lady, writer and TV presenter), only formatted for generational features.
Characteristic features: Similar to something with "emotional waste", but only more picky in the formation of their content.

Commenting on the study, Brian Melmed said that it would be impossible to bring all types of millennials together, but their classification will facilitate understanding of who we have to interact with. According to Melmed, "Millenials are the most diverse and heterogeneous generation than everything that we met before." There is almost nothing in common between categories because Generation Y is a patchwork quilt.
