The top causes that these generations care about naturally shift over time–what are they today, and what do brands need to know about their involvement?
In the last few years, young consumers have become more activated than ever as the pandemic put a spotlight on long-standing social issues impacting their generations. Of course, the pandemic itself also became a cause that mattered to them, with YPulse finding that COVID-19 was the top social cause that young people cared about in 2021 . But as we enter a new phase of the crisis and their views begin to shift (see: YPulse’s The In-Between trend research ) are the causes they’re most passionate about shifting as well?
YPulse’s recent causes / charity and activism report once again asked 13-39-year-olds “What social causes / issues are you passionate about?” and we’ve compared their responses to to last year’s to see how Gen Z and Millennials’ social cause focus has changed:
COVID-19 is no longer the top cause that young people say they are passionate about, dropping to the third in the ranking. Of course, COVID is still important to Gen Z and Millennials, with the majority telling YPulse we are still living in the COVID-era. But a lot has also changed in the last year, and 64% of young people agree: “This is our new normal, we will never go back to the way life was pre-COVID.” This change in perspective has shifted their focus from COVID as a short-term crisis to COVID as an ongoing reality. With that, it’s fallen below other issues that center around inequality. Racism is the top cause that young people are passionate about, followed by Black Lives Matter. In the months before the Black Lives Matter protests of 2020, Gen Z and Millennials told YPulse that racism/discrimination is the biggest problem their generations face , and last year we found the majority feel that racism in the U.S. has gotten worse . While that may paint a bleak picture for young people’s current perspective, there is truth to it. The Government Accountability Office reported about 1.3 million students, ages 12-18-year-olds old, were bullied for their race, religion, national origin, disability, gender, or sexual orientation during the 2018-2019 school year. In the same year, 1.6 million students were subjected to hate speech due to their identity, and Black students in particular are most often victims of this type of harassment. The Center for the Study of Hate and Extremism (CSUSB) also revealed that Black Americans remained the most targeted group across most cities in the U.S., while anti-Asian hate crime increased by 339% in 2021 compared to the year before, with New York City, San Francisco, Los Angeles, and other cities surpassing their record numbers in 2020. This has led to Black students staging walkouts to protest racism and bullying at their schools. Young AAPI students have also been taking the initiative to combat racism and bullying at their schools by organizing events with nonprofit organizations like Stop AAPI Hate and Act to Change.
These two issues were, of course, also at the top of the ranking last year. But some causes moved into the top 10 that were lower on the list in 2021: Gender equality / sexism and abortion / birth control both ranked higher this year, potentially a natural reaction to these issues being tested and threatened. We told you that young females’—especially young mothers’— mental health have been especially impacted by the events of the last two years . YPulse’s What’s Next For Work trend research found that the pandemic negatively impacted women’s careers far more than men, with more women losing their jobs, taking pay cuts, or opting to be a stay-at-home mom due to lack of childcare options—and fewer women taking on new roles with higher salaries. Meanwhile, women’s reproductive rights in the U.S. have also been threatened as lawmakers in some states began putting restrictions on abortions leading many to question the future of Roe v. Wade. Sexual harassment / abuse also took a higher spot on the list as the #MeToo movement continues to be a global force .
LGBTQ discrimination / rights took the tenth spot on the list this year. According to The Trevor Project, a nonprofit that runs suicide prevention efforts for LGBTQ+ youth, counselors fielded over 150K “crisis contacts” (calls for help via phone, text, and chat) in the last year andnearly half those calls came from people under the age of 18, and over a third were from people of color. YPulse research shows that the number of young adults who identify as LGBTQ+ is continuing to grow, and young people are taking more initiative to support themselves and their community.
One issue that appeared in the top 10 for the first time this year is mental health help / care, which we added to the 2022 survey in response to these generations’ continued prioritization of mental wellness . In fact, when we asked 13-39-year-olds, “What causes do they want to see brands get involved in?” Mental health help / care took the top spot:
In the last few years, more brands have been entering the mental health conversation, providing resources to help with mental wellness during the pandemic and beyond , as well as tapping the anxiety economy . YPulse’s mental health behavioral report also shows it’s something young consumers are open to, with 69% saying “Brands should be encouraging open discussions about mental health.”
Poverty and racism remain also top causes that young people want brands to be involved with. According to a national poll conducted by Civiqs , support for the Black Lives Matter movement declined, and while our own research shows that Black Lives Matter has moved down a few spots from last year, it is still a cause that Gen Z and Millennials want brands to be involved in. We told you about the brands that are keeping their promises to becoming more diverse and inclusive , and many have been launching initiatives to combat discrimination or educate people on anti-racism . Climate change is also still a top cause that young consumers want brands to support. The truth is that though it may have dropped out of the top 10 causes they’re currently passionate about, climate change is still at the top of young people’s minds . Our recent sustainability report found that the majority of 13-39-year-olds believe corporations should take more responsibility for fighting climate change.
LGBTQ discrimination / rights, gender equality / sexism, and marijuana legalization round out the top 10. We mentioned earlier that The Trevor Project is a nonprofit that has been running suicide prevention efforts for LGBTQ+ youth for a long time—and brand partners like Google, Google, YouTube, Macy’s, Procter & Gamble, Harry’s, and Abercrombie & Fitch, have worked to keep them funded. But the group’s work has also proven to be an asset for companies who want to demonstrate to the LGBTQ+ community that “their corporate hearts are in the right place, and The Trevor Project is certainly a group that brands can work with to reach the community. Meanwhile, as cannabis continues to be popular in marketing , young consumers are pushing for legalization, and marijuana brands like Gumbo Brands and Seth Rogen’s Houseplant are using their business to raise awareness around decriminalization of marijuana.
While the issues that young people are most likely to be passionate about and those they want brands to be involved in are not mirror images, there is a lot of crossover, signaling yet again that these generations want brands to go to bat on the major causes that they care about–and that they expect them to make a difference.

The Carps are from Scarborough, a pretend hood in Toronto. They are a duo that plays music for human ears. Having two people in a band can be a liberating thing, as it has been seen. Such a shame they are so young - had they come around any earlier they could've taken credit for more than a few novel ideas. With the EP the Young & Passionate Days of Carpedia, the two ragamuffin soul rockers deliver the promise to set themselves far apart from elephants, swirly red and white candy, beards, brothers and sisters, and Phil Collins. The Carps stand alone. They sound like nothing you could imagine, and everything you'd like to. The Carps thrive on ingenuity and vicissitude. Newness always! Therefore the captain of the ship, Neil White, wielding his disheveled bass and a wonky synthesizer, steers this raw emotion into a palatable and progressive direction. All this while never leaving his "mindless self-indulgent" duct tape Punk Rock days far behind him. Perhaps the jungles of Sri Lanka still run through his veins, though he could never lose the class and distinction that only he, as a real British bloke, could carry. Jahmal Tonge is the soul junkie. Growing up on asexual legends like Michael Jackson and Prince, it was sifting through his father's record collection that exposed to him to Motown, Stax, Soul music! These are the sounds that are at the heart of The Carps. From behind his drum kit, or with his guitar strapped and his MPC drum machine at his side, Jahmal soulfully screams his soulful, soul-catching, soul-baring soul in a raw way... It's the only way he knows. It was Bold, Black, Christian women that led him that direction. Discernibly, the sight and sounds of the Caribbean still stick. Hearing the tropical wind blow through an open church tent as a woman cries out to God, tearing her vocal cords from the deepest part of her being, will change a temerarious young boy.
Scarborough's The Carps are not shy with their opinions. The duo starts off their album dedicating "Let's Fall in Love" to Condoleezza Rice and Jean Chretien warning the listener that this might be the rawest thing you ve ever heard. While they fall a bit short off their promise, it's nice to see such a young band have such lofty ambitions. Over frantic break beats and funky but thrashy bass, The Carps make quite an impression on their debut album. Everything about The Young and Passionate Days of Carpedia is big, from the sound to its subject matter. The band sings impassioned songs about gun violence on Compton to Scarborough and impressively makes thrash sound a little bit seductive. - Andrew Chin --Tangible Sounds

How much money do you really need to live the life you want? How much savings do you need for a possible job transition or time off? What do you need to learn about investing and growing your money? How are you spending money unconsciously?
Curiosity – Having an insatiable quest for knowledge and continuous improvement Thinking Independently – Learning from experience and applying that in new ways Sharpening Your Senses – Paying attention to all of your senses to explore the world Embracing Uncertainty – By getting comfortable with discomfort and managing ambiguity and change Balancing Logic and Imagination – Using your whole brain rather than relying on one or the other Balancing Body and Mind – Not focusing too much on one or the other Making New Connections – Finding patterns and new idea combinations from existing ones
Grab a pen and paper, and start writing down every idea you can think of — even if it seems outlandish or undoable. Just conduct a brain dump of all of your ideas. Once you’ve exhausted all of your ideas and put them on paper, go back and circle your top five to ten ideas. Next, grab a sheet of paper for each idea, and write it at the top of the page. Begin researching the passion idea, making notes on the paper about the skills involved, any educational requirements, and (if it’s a passion that can become a career) the salary potential. Do this for each of your top passions. Now go back and refine your list again, looking at the ideas that seem to intrigue you the most. Separate the papers for these finalists. Your next task is to write goals and action steps for each of these ideas. What is the bigger picture you want for this passion (a career, a side-gig, a hobby)? What are the specific steps you need to take to reach this goal? Finally, make a decision about the passion that seems to fit best into your life, your finances, and your overall goals.
Have you ever wondered, “What am I passionate about?” Have you been struggling to figure out a career or hobby that lights your fire but just can’t find it?
As frustrating as it is to search and search and not find your passion, it undermines your efforts to delay happiness until you discover it.
Enjoying life and savoring everything you are doing along the path to your passion is a valuable part of the experience.
As you become more engaged with the life you have , you’ll expand your awareness of the life you dream of living .
As you become more grateful, positive, and curious, you’ll open doorways of enlightenment that lead you to your passion .
What I’m suggesting is more than a “relax and wait” frame of mind. It’s a “relax, envision, engage, and expect” mindset.
Do the practical steps you need to do to find your passion (take assessments, get additional training, hire a coach, read books, research, etc.), but at the same time engage in other things you find interesting and valuable.
While you’re taking these actions, actively look for clues and passion in life examples to inspire you.
You might discover that what you are most passionate about is the very thing you are doing while you search.
If you’d like to fill that restless “When will I ever find my passion” time with interesting and positive activities, take a look at our passionate examples below.
Choose from the list of things to be passionate about and begin practicing one of these activities now. They all will benefit you in some way, and we show you how to use each of them in the search for your passion in life.
If you’ve been feeling passionless and frustrated, you’re probably neglecting your physical well-being.
