Who is a part of Gen Z? Well, most of the readers of The Armijo Signal are because Gen Zers are all children now. Depending on the source, those “children” have been born anytime from 1993 or later to as recently as 2015.

The state of the world they’re growing up in is perceived as bad. It may not be as bad as other time periods, but it’s still considered pretty bad.

Education, on the other hand, is considered to be the best it has ever been. Free education is available to almost all students schools generally aren’t separated by gender or race. Even those schools that maintain their single-gender status do so with the best of intentions. 

The current Gen Z population in the United States is judged to be around 23 million and growing, according to genhq.com, which identifies the start of the generation to be those born in 1996.

There are many differences between Gen Z and Millennials: they are more familiar with technology than the older generation. As the members of this new generation grow into adulthood, the potential for their success and their contributions to society seems to be great, but only time will tell if they will take advantage of all of their opportunities.
