GEN-Z CHALLENGES AND PROBLEMS: A RESEARCH REVIEW STUDY

Author(s) Dr. Amardip Mohan Ambhore
Country India
Abstract Generation Z (born ≈1997–2012) faces a complex set of interrelated challenges as they transition into adulthood, shaped by digital hyperconnectivity, economic uncertainty, and global environmental threats. This review synthesizes contemporary empirical and review literature (2019–2025) on major problems confronting Gen-Z, focusing on mental health and emotional wellbeing, digital life and smartphone/social media impacts, educational transitions, employment insecurity including automation risks, and climate related anxiety and civic engagement. Evidence indicates elevated self-reported rates of psychological distress among Gen-Z compared with prior cohorts, with social media use and information overload functioning both as stressors and as routes for help-seeking (McKinsey, 2023). Climate anxiety is prevalent and linked to perceptions of inadequate institutional responses (Hickman et al., 2021). Digital addiction and excessive smartphone use are associated with poorer sleep, attention, and emotional regulation in youth samples (Mason, 2022; Shiferaw et al., 2025). The review highlights methodological heterogeneity, gaps in longitudinal data, and the need for culturally diverse samples. Recommendations include targeted mental health interventions that integrate digital literacy, curricular redesign responsive to Gen-Z learning preferences, and policy measures addressing economic precarity and climate mitigation.
