WE SEEK ANSWERS TO BIG QUESTIONS

What would living through this change
do to the way you see the world?

China’s youth have lived in a globally unique system of rapid change. How would being immersed in that change impact your expectations towards growth? New technologies? Your government? How would it impact your ability to adapt, or your attitudes towards change itself? We dig in.

WE PROVIDE A BRIDGE OF UNDERSTANDING

At Young China Group‭, ‬we explore how Young China’s evolving identity drives economic‭, ‬market‭, ‬and political outcomes‭. ‬We try to understand how who this young generation is drives how they act‭. ‬Because how they act‮—‬what they want‭, ‬how they see the world‮—‬will redefine global dynamics‭. ‬

INSIGHT

We use quantitative research to‭ ‬
understand what is happening‭

We deploy qualitative research and our anthropological grounding to understand the bigger questions: why is it happening, and what will happen next? We research big questions with real market implications, mixing theory with practice.

  • Generation Gulfs – How do China’s Millennials and Gen Z differ from China’s older generations?
  • Subculture Emergence – What youth subcultures are bubbling up throughout the country, and why?
  • Worth and Work – What is seen as “worth it” to young people today?
  • Innovation Ecosystem – What new technology will China’s ecosystem of rapid adoption incubate next? Which will land on the world stage?
