Millénaires

Millénaires is a term used to refer to people born in the 1980s and 1990s, often considered to be a distinct generational cohort. This generation is characterized by its upbringing during a period of rapid technological advancement, particularly the rise of the internet and digital communication. They are sometimes referred to as "digital natives" due to their early and widespread exposure to these technologies.

The formative years of millennials coincided with significant global events and cultural shifts. Economically, many entered the workforce during a period of recession or slow growth, which has impacted their financial trajectories and perspectives on homeownership and career stability. Socially, millennials are often described as valuing experiences over material possessions, prioritizing work-life balance, and holding more progressive views on social issues compared to previous generations.

While the term "millennial" is widely used, its precise definition and the characteristics attributed to this generation are subject to ongoing discussion and vary across different cultures and regions. The rapid pace of change means that defining generational boundaries and associated traits is a complex and evolving endeavor. Their influence is increasingly felt in consumer markets, political discourse, and the workplace.
