Gen Z (born between 1995 and 2012) are becoming increasingly studied and it’s no surprise! So to get a picture of their typical day, and how it differs (if at all) with that of milllenials we asked Gen Z over the age of 18 the same set of questions…
Below you’ll find our top 5 takeaways but to get the full infographic, download below!

Lights, Camera, Action! Movie watching is not a big past time for Gen Z in comparison to Millennials, with 33.6% watching 3 or more movies a week, in comparison to just under a half of millennials (47.6%) watching the same.
