Achieve’s research team has begun its investigation for the 2017 Millennial Impact Report; Phase 1 findings are published here. Later phases will use these findings as the foundation for and the framework through which a deeper and more intensive examination of millennials’ activation with specific social issues will be investigated. Findings in subsequent phases also will be evaluated by key demographic characteristics.
MILLENNIAL DIALOGUE ON THE LANDSCAPE OF
CAUSE ENGAGEMENT AND SOCIAL ISSUES
Last year, Achieve researchers studied whether heightened national attention to social issues resulting from a U.S. presidential campaign would affect millennials’ (born in 1980-2000) involvement with causes. The cause landscape has changed since that election, as evidenced by such movements as the Women’s March and the Climate March.
The next natural step in our research was to investigate how changing social issues are affecting millennials’ interest and engagement in cause involvement. Achieve researchers also examined millennials’ activation with specific social issues based on key demographic characteristics. Additionally, the researchers sought data to elucidate topics generated during data gathering for last year’s report.
