Cimigo Youth Report in Vietnam – Vietnam’s Generation Z

Born in the 90s and now 15 to 19 years old, Gen Z in Vietnam is the first generation starting to think like their global peers. Their attitudes highlight the start of a huge cultural shift in Vietnamese values. Gen Z has been born into a more abundant world. More access to information and influencers. More focused on self identification than family values. More pressure to succeed than to conform. Gen Z strives for independence, recognition, integration and inspiration. Cimigo’s report highlights 6 trends that characterize Generation Z; 1.Their hyper- connectivity (95% of them are online). 2.The quest for role models in a society where the generation gap is huge. 3.Self-definition and self assertion in a new value system where performance has become more important than conformity. 4.Experience-seeking as a means to gain knowledge and self-confidence. 5.Craving for newness (for the thrill of it but also in order to upgrade one’s lifestyle standards). 6.Guiltless self-indulgence, which clearly differs from the norms of a traditionally duty-oriented culture.
