By 2030, many of the world's largest economies will have more
jobs than skilled people to do those jobs.

As a result, the talent market is going to be even more competitive than
it is today. To prepare, Universum conducted the biggest Gen Z survey
ever to help our clients predict their future workforce.

1) Most global generation

wants to start their own companies
in order to have an impact.
43% of Gen Z
Globally connected and well
traveled
Gravitating toward cities, where
populations tend to be more
ethnically and culturally diverse
Aware of global events and
business opportunities
Recognize that the world has
significant problems, and they
want to help
For them, the desire to help change the
world for the better is not about CSR or
donating to charities.

The rest of the world, and especially LatAm, is particularly entrepreneurial, but North America is not…
• Are you interested in starting your own company?
13
Is this because North American companies are already incorporating entrepreneurial elements into the workplace experience?
• Are you interested in starting your own company?
• “Hack days”
• Project work
• Process, product, culture improvements
• Stronger communication
14
We’re also seeing employers getting better at communicating their purpose and vision, which is critical for Gen Z!
• What would you consider to be the most important aspects, in regards to inspiring leadership? (Max. 3)

All of the American markets are extremely open to communication from employers about jobs…
• How open are you to be contacted by a company regarding work opportunities?
20
…but hardly any of them have been contacted about job opportunities!
• Have you been contacted by any company regarding work opportunities?
21
Have you started actively communicating your employer brand to Gen Z?
22
are hopeful about their future work-life.

Despite economic uncertainties,
3) Grew up in uncertain times
Grew up during the “war on
terror” and the economic crises
More target-oriented, planning
career paths earlier
Exposed to dramatically changing
industries, with STEM skills
becoming more critical
Contrary to popular belief, the
uncertain times did not quell their
entrepreneurial desire
24
Their greatest fear is getting stuck in a role where they don’t fit personally and can’t grow, which seems to fuel their entrepreneurial ambitions
• What are your greatest fears regarding your work life? (Max. 3)

And the #1 aspect of an employer
that is important for a personality
match is…
Friendliness of people

is interested in finding out more about
how companies offer education to
people who have no university
degree

Contrary to their parents, who
prioritized a college education, almost
4) Breaking the education mold
Student loans are increasingly
unsustainable and many schools
do not accelerate earnings
enough to offset the costs
Gen Z values experience over
tangible possessions, so the
salary argument for a degree has
less weight
Employers are looking more for
skillsets or learning capacity,
reducing the importance of a
name brand school on a resume
Growth of alternative education
and online learning tools
27
In LatAm, the desire to find out more about alternative education options is even higher!
