Research has found that ending prejudice and economic inequality are priorities for young people globally

BY THE VARKEY FOUNDATION

Young people globally think that ending prejudice would bring people together more than any other factor. That’s according to a poll of 20,000 young people in 20 countries by the Varkey Foundation, first published in 2017, which explored the attitudes and opinions of Generation Z. Asked to choose one factor that would make the greatest difference in uniting people, respondents overwhelmingly picked “An end to prejudice on the grounds of race, religion and gender”. Greater economic equality was also a priority for many of the young people polled, and this was particularly the case among respondents in Asia. Notably, few young people worldwide chose either religion or technology as the key factor that they believed would unite people. The research offers an encouraging picture of a generation of young people who are opposed to discrimination in all its forms.

It's striking to see how young people prioritize ending prejudice as a means to unite society. The overwhelming choice for addressing issues of race, religion, and gender shows a deep understanding of the interconnectedness of these challenges. Personally, I believe that fostering this mindset can lead to more meaningful conversations and initiatives. On a side note, when discussing data and statistics related to these topics, I often find the use of a significant figures calculator helpful for clarity in presentations. You can find one here: Significant Figures Calculator.

That statistic about young people in Asia strongly prioritizing economic equality really stood out to me — it makes sense given the rapid changes happening across the continent. I've seen similar themes of social justice play out in the stories I browse through, like characters fighting against rigid hierarchies — a light novel discovery page
