What will adulthood mean in 2020? The New Adulthood reveals a new and unique cohort shaping growing up: the New Adults.
Previously called Xennials, midults and more, New Adults span the youngest members of Gen X and the oldest millennials—a group of 30 to 45-year-olds with more in common with each other than with other labels. Though New Adults spent the last decade on the rollercoaster started by the financial crisis, they’re now growing up, settling down, and pushing back against the status quo.
The New Adulthood explores the identity of the New Adult, including values, motivations, and engagement. Included are key takeaways for brands, who can no longer afford to overlook this influential demographic.
