Who is Gen Z?
What sets them apart?
- Gen Z is the most ethnically and racially diverse generation in U.S. history2
- They are willing to work hard and are confident their hard work will lead to success
- They are financially undereducated, more so than generations that came before
- Gen Zs love shopping in-store and believe the shopping experience is as important as the product itself
They are a big deal
They are highly and unapologetically digital
Conclusion

Synchrony leveraged existing syndicated and secondary data to identify insights and knowledge gaps before kicking off Synchrony research.

For comparison, Synchrony conducted a multigenerational survey with over 4,000 respondents.
Timing: December 2017 – January 2018
