Pres1 say Generation Z and Millennials are two generations that have grown up in a time of rapid social and cultural change, and their views on birth rights in the United States reflect that. Birth rights are the legal rights and privileges that a person has by virtue of being born in a certain country or to certain parents. Some examples of birth rights in the United States are citizenship, voting, education, health care, and social security.
According to some research, Generation Z and Millennials tend to have more progressive and inclusive views on birth rights than older generations. For instance, a Pew Research Center survey from 2020 found that 72% of Gen Zers and 64% of Millennials said that granting citizenship to immigrants who came to the U.S. illegally as children would be a good thing for the country. In contrast, only 54% of Gen Xers, 48% of Baby Boomers, and 41% of the Silent Generation agreed with this statement.
Another example is abortion rights, which are often considered a part of reproductive rights. A survey by The Hill from 2017 found that 72% of Americans aged 18-29, which combines Gen Z with the youngest Millennials, believed abortion should be legal in all or most cases. The numbers show Gen Z is actually the-pro-choice-generation, compared with 64% of all Americans 30 and over. This suggests that
Generation Z and Millennials are more supportive of women’s autonomy and choice over their own bodies than older generations.
However, this does not mean that Generation Z and Millennials are monolithic or uniform in their views on birth rights. There may be significant differences within and across these generations based on factors such as race, ethnicity, gender, education, income, religion, geography, and political affiliation. For example, a McKinsey report from 2020 found that Gen Zers in the U.S. are more racially and ethnically diverse than any previous generation. https://www.mckinsey.com/industries/retail/our-insights/the-young-and-the-restless-generation-z-in-america, and this may influence their perspectives on birth rights such as immigration and citizenship. Similarly, a Pew Research Center report from 2019 found that Millennial and Gen Z Republicans were more likely than their older counterparts to think humans have a large role in climate change. https://www.pewresearch.org/topic/generations-age/generations/generation-z/, which may affect their views on environmental rights.
In conclusion, Gen Z and Millennials are two generations that have different views on birth rights in the United States than older generations, but they are also diverse and complex groups that cannot be easily categorized or stereotyped. They are likely to shape the future of the country with their values and opinions on various social and policy issues. I hope this answer was helpful and informative for you.
