An inside look into why Millennials are rejecting careers in politics, and what this means for the future of America's political system Millennials are often publicly criticized for being apathetic about the American political process and their lack of interest in political careers. But what do millennials themselves have to say about the prospect of holding political office? Are they as uninterested in political issues and the future of the American political system as the media suggests? Out of the Running goes directly to the source and draws from extensive research, including over 50 interviews, with graduate students in elite institutions that have historically been a direct link for their graduates into state or federal elected office: Harvard Law, Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government, and Boston’s Suffolk University Law School. Shauna Shames, herself a young graduate of Harvard University, suggests that millennials are not uninterested; rather, they don’t believe that a career in politics is the best way to create change. Millennials view the system as corrupt or inefficient and are particularly skeptical about the fundraising, frenzied media attention, and loss of privacy that have become staples of the American electoral process. They are clear about their desire to make a difference in the world but feel that the “broken” political system is not the best way to do so—a belief held particularly by millennial women and women of color. The implications of Shames’ argument are crucial for the future of the American political system—how can a system adapt and grow if qualified, intelligent leaders are not involved? An engaging and accessible resource for anyone who follows American politics, Out of the Running highlights the urgent need to fix the American political system, as an absence of diverse millennial candidates leaves its future in a truly precarious position.

Millennials and the Workplace explores the rapidly changing workplace environment and its meaning in the new millennium. It takes a look at the young generation-the Millennials-who do not accept the 'status quo', who have moved from obedience to questioning, and who assess work in terms of its significance in human life and human nature. The book studies the Millennials and profiles them according to their demographic and psychographic background along with personality factors such as work locus of control, personal values and achievement motivation, and so on. The authors highlight the gap be

Il est souvent question, dans la presse, de ces jeunes nés entre le début des années 80 et le milieu des années 90, qui ont grandi avec les nouvelles technologies de l’information et de la communication (NTIC), notamment les médias sociaux, et que l’on qualifie de « génération Y ». Pourtant peu de travaux analysent les conséquences de leur arrivée sur le marché du travail. Alors que les administrations publiques, confrontées au départ en retraite des « baby boomers », vont bientôt recruter des jeunes en grand nombre, il est indispensable de s’interroger sur les caractéristiques professionnelles de ces derniers qui semblent assez distinctes de celles de leurs aînés. La première partie de l’ouvrage souligne, à partir de travaux de chercheurs, certains traits de la génération Y, notamment son étroite relation avec les NTIC. Dans un second temps, ce sont les modalités d’adaptation des administrations françaises, européennes et étrangères qui sont analysées. Comment créent-elles un écosystème propice à l’accueil de ces nouveaux entrants ? Au-delà d’une réflexion sur les pratiques de gestion des ressources humaines, cet ouvrage invite les managers, du public comme du privé, à une assez profonde mutation culturelle. There is a lot of talk in the press about these young people born between the early 1980s and the mid-1990s, who have grown up with the new information and communication technologies (NICTs), especially the social media, and whom we have come to call Generation Y. Yet there have not been many analyses of the repercussions of their arrival on the labour market. At a time when public administrations will soon be recruiting young people en masse, as baby boomers retire, there are questions that need to be asked about the professional characteristics of these young people who seem so different to their elders. The first part of the book draws on researchers’ studies to define certain features of Generation Y, especially their close relationship with the…

While many institutions have developed policies to address the myriad needs of Millennial college students and their parents, inherent in many of these initiatives is the underlying assumption that this student population is a homogeneous group. This book is significant because it addresses and explores the characteristics and experiences of Millennials from an array of perspectives, taking into account not only racial and ethnic identity, but also cultural background, sexual orientation, and socioeconomic status differences-all factors contributing to how these students interface with academe
