\r\n Gen Z and work: is the \u2018lazy generation\u2019 just a stereotype? <\/h3>\r\n\r\n
\r\n

Lazy, spoilt, demanding? Gen Z is fighting for its reputation \u2013 and it\u2019s their work ethic above all that\u2019s being called into question. Is there anything to the stereotypes?<\/p>\r\n <\/div>\r\n\r\n <\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n \r\n

Work shapes who we are<\/strong> \u2013 or who we are supposed to be. Our seventh focus topic looks at where our relationship with work is shifting right now.<\/p>\n

Gen Z is being written off as the \u2018lazy generation\u2019. A philosopher empties offices in the name of New Work. A dealer turns cannabis into a legal profession, and children become a business model as kidfluencers.<\/p>\n

We accompany a professional dancer at his limit and fathers on parental leave, look for travelling shepherds and visit the Arolsen Archives. There it becomes clear: remembering is work, too.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n\n\n\n\n
