Generation Y refers to the specific generation born between the 1980’s to the early 1990’s. Millennials, Y Generation, Generation We, Echo boomers and many more terms have been used to describe the generation. Generation Y are the youngsters that are heading into unpredictable job markets after graduation. Although the employment rates are steady, many are facing the fall in average earning after the 2008 recession. Their employment trend fluctuates from part-time work to self-employed. 

The Y Generation has had constant access to technology during adolescence. Computers, mobile phones and the internet were all accessible and part of their youth. Therefore, companies have had to adapt and revise their hiring strategy, company infrastructure and overall business ethos to be able to attract this generation. 

Despite all challenges, Generation Y are deemed valuable for today’s businesses. Given the economically turbulent time they matured in, this generation chooses to make compromises when looking for work. Their expectations in terms of salary and benefits are lowered down and they are much more committed and loyal than their previous counterparts. As a result, many organisations seek economic advantages by attracting and retaining them.
