In China there are 316 million people between the ages of 15 and 30. In the U.S., there are 66 million. In what ways are they similar? How do they differ?

What’s on the minds of millennials (八零后和九零后一代) in China and America? What are their hopes and worries?  At this symposium, we’ll be exploring the aspirations of young Chinese and Americans with regard to school, work, romance, and life. What are their attitudes toward gender and generational roles? What obligations do they feel towards their own dreams, toward their families, their friends, their employers, and their communities? What does how they spend their time and money signal about their priorities?

Watch the video presentations of leading researchers, businesspeople and journalists about these and other questions.
