Research scope

Millennials represent an increasing share of the workforce (evidenced by a recent analysis from Deloitte Insights that showed Millennials “have recently inched past the other generations to corner the largest share of the US labor market”), and a growing number now occupy senior positions. They are no longer leaders of tomorrow, but increasingly, leaders of today—as such, their views on how business does and should conduct itself are of more than academic interest. We see that Millennials are taking their values with them into the boardroom. As the Millennial generation gets older, a larger proportion are also becoming parents; the opinions of Millennial moms and dads are also covered in the current study.

As with previous surveys in the series, we collected the views of nearly 7,700 Millennials representing 29 countries around the globe. All participants were born after 1982, have obtained a college or university degree, are employed fulltime, and predominantly work in large (100+ employees), private-sector organizations.
