“…Se caracterizan por ser optimistas, cooperativos y tolerantes; aunque también acusan la sobreprotección recibida por sus padres (se analiza en líneas posteriores). Keeling (2003), por su parte, resaltó como rasgo muy particular de esta generación que se han educado en la incertidumbre y elaboran su itinerario formativo sin saber exactamente hacia dónde se dirigen, dada la falta de garantías que ofrece el nuevo mercado laboral.…”

“…La tercera (generación X) crece en una fase de estancamiento del modelo del Estado de bienestar, de forma que se desarrolla un pensamiento escéptico y una actitud que cuestiona el futuro. Han sido considerados como pragmáticos e indiferentes, sin las motivaciones e inquietudes de sus predecesores boomers -materializadas en el movimiento hippie, por ejemplo- (Keeling, 2003). Sin embargo, en su ciclo los valores democráticos continúan su consolidación: pudieron celebrar la caída del muro de Berlín en 1989 (García de Lombardía, Stein y Pin, 2008).…”

“…A los Y se les atribuyen virtudes como la autoconfianza, el trabajo en equipo y la tolerancia; aunque también son calificados como sobreprotegidos (Howe y Strauss, 2000). Además, autores como Keeling (2003) o Schneider y Stevenson (1999) consideran que estamos ante una generación que dedica más tiempo y recursos a su educación que las anteriores. Los Y, aún en edad adolescente, presentaban la peculiaridad de: "asumir su limitación en el conocimiento sobre la profesión a ocupar, la proyección académica o las demandas que en el futuro generará su profesión.…”

RESUMEN:Los jóvenes clasificables en España como generación Y están abordado su proceso de inserción laboral en condiciones aún más adversas que las soportadas por la generación precedente (los X), al coincidir la crisis económica (2008)(2009)(2010)(2011)(2012)(2013)(2014)(2015) con su acceso a la edad laboral. El presente trabajo pretende abordar los rasgos generacionales que se atribuyen a estos jóve-nes en España y contrastarlos con los datos disponibles (los que ofrece la Encuesta de Población Activa, EPA, y la Organización para la Cooperación y el Desarrollo Económicos, OCDE, fundamentalmente). De esta forma se pretende lograr una mejor interpretación del fenómeno que permita distinguir sus auténti-cos rasgos y vivencias generacionales de las etiquetas asociadas y difundidas por fuentes no demasiado solventes. Para tal fin, se analizan las principales tipologías sociales atribuidas a esta generación (ni-nis, mileuristas y boomerangs), así como los cambios tecnológicos que determinan su perfil (sociedad digital), sus nuevas tendencias migratorias y la influencia de la estratificación social de los jóvenes y el papel de sus familias. Entre las conclusiones destaca la influencia de determinados factores (nivel educativo, clase social) al afrontar su inserción laboral y la prevalencia de la familia como institución clave en el apoyo a estos jóvenes, dadas las carencias de otros agentes sociales.PALABRAS CLAVE: Empleo juvenil; crisis económica; generación perdida; millennials; ni-nis; mileuristas; boomerangs ABSTRACT: Young people Spain classed as belonging Generation Y are facing the transition to employment under even more adverse conditions than the previous generation (X), as a result of the economic crisis (2008)(2009)(2010)(2011)(2012)(2013)(2014)(2015) prevailing as they reach working age. This paper aims to address the generational traits that are attributed to these young people in Spain, and contrast them with the data offered (Labour Force Survey, LFS, and Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development, OECD, mainly). This aims to achieve a better understanding of the phenomenon to distinguish their true features and generational experiences from the testimony of somewhat unreliable sources. To this end, we analyse the main social types attributed to this generation (Not in Education, Employment, or Training, NEETs, mileuristas and boomerangs), technological changes that determine their profile (digital society), new migration trends, the influence of social stratification and the contribution of the family. The conclusions look in particular at the influence of certain factors (education, social class) to improve their employability, and the prevalence of the family as a key institution in supporting these young people, given the lack of other social actors.

“…Furthermore, two studies based on sample sizes of more than 1,000 respondents showed that the majority of participants were classified as foreclosures (Petitpas, 1978). Many of the personality traits of foreclosures are consistent with those reportedly common to Millennials, the cohort of traditional-aged college students who have been enrolling in colleges and universities since the year 2000 (see Keeling, 2003;Koring & Reid, 2009).…”

Foreclosure students have prematurely committed themselves to academic majors and future careers, but present themselves to academic advisors as very decided. From a developmental theory perspective, foreclosures represent an immature identity status and include students whose failure to explore their personal and vocational identities and achieve a mature identity threatens their academic success. While this category may be new to academic advisors, foreclosures have been the object of extensive psychological and educational research. We review the literature summarizing the identity development and the personality characteristics of foreclosures, and we also review the available evidence concerning the academic performance of these students. We conclude with some recommendations for successfully identifying and advising these students.

The American workplace today is unlike any other in history because for the first time it is made up of four distinct generations. The advising workplaces on today's college campuses mirror this generational diversity. Four generations and their different perceptions of work attitudes and values, management expectations, communication patterns, and even work hours and dress are addressed in this article. Also discussed are generational preferences for information giving, teaching styles, and advisor-training formats. Suggestions for how advisors and administrators can use this diversity to enrich collaboration between generations are offered. Acknowledging and incorporating the ideas, values, and perceptions that advisors from different generations bring to the advising workplace can have a positive impact on its climate, collegiality, and effectiveness.
