When Gen Z Entered Work
The window across which the whole cohort arrives in the workforce, which birth years are already in and how many are still to come.
At a typical start age of 22, Generation Z arrives in the workforce across a thirteen-year window from 2019 to 2031, which means the cohort is not a single arrival but a wave still less than halfway through.
When Gen Z Entered Work
Frequently asked
Is all of Gen Z working yet?
No. At a start age of 22 the youngest, born in 2009, do not arrive until 2031. Anything written about "Gen Z at work" today describes the older half.
Why is Gen Z workplace research unreliable?
Because it usually samples the earliest arrivals and generalises to a cohort most of whom have not started work yet.
