Generation Z, interests and vocational skills, social behavior, life projectAbstract
The main objective of this study was to characterize the Z generation and what their professional interests and aptitudes are as an indicator of the construction of their life projects, as well as, to explore the social behavior that the action entails in making vocational decisions. The sample is made up of 161 students and is characterized by 45% women and 55% men between 13 and 19 years old. The results indicate that the analyzed group builds its life projects on interests focused on art and aptitudes towards medicine and health sciences, with strong characteristics of consideration with others, but with a latent need for leadership indicators.
