What do you think of when you think of Gen Z? In 2023, The RELATE Project investigated relationships, sense of belonging, identity, agency, and beliefs among 7,261 adolescents aged 13 to 24. This study involved surveys and focus groups conducted in various regions, including 1,994 participants in the United States, 1,004 in the United Kingdom, 1,768 in Mexico, 997 in India, 627 in Kenya, 447 in Uganda, 413 in Ethiopia, and 11 in Tanzania, thus covering a representative sample from Eastern Africa.
Among their findings:
More than 40% of Gen Z doesn’t feel worthy of being loved.
Mental health is a concern for more than 40% of Gen Z.
More than 33% of Gen Z turns to social media when they’re feeling anxious.
Half of teens and young adults are stressed by school and finances.
Gen Z wants to be known as kind and good—earning the moniker “The Empathetic Generation.”
Their belief in a higher power actually strengthens with age.
