Understanding Millennials’ Behaviours Indonesia and Demystifying Their Stereotypes Millennial Report 2020 Introduction Introduction Millennials are most often used to describe a generation that thrives on instant gratification through technology, spends too much time on social media and are lazy in the workplace. They are portrayed as an adventurous generation that prefer to travel rather than to save for housing, to eat out rather than to cook at home, and to spend money on the latest smartphone rather than to save it in the bank. While it may be true to some degree, it is a generalization and oversimplification of 1 out of 7 types of millennials that we identified, The Adventurer. At the very core, millennials are efficient, optimistic, and not that radically different from other age groups. They are largely driven by passion and use creative means to achieve success and goals in their own terms. The way millennials consume news and information are centered on their mobile phones and their paths to discovery are more nuanced and varied than some may have imagined. While there are many stereotypes and myths about millennials out there, most of them are likely based on assumptions, which will hinder us from truly understanding and fully addressing this generation’s needs. In this report, our team at IDN Research Institute, with the help of Nielsen Indonesia, delved deep on the 7 types of Indonesian millennials which are outlined based on their distinct values, behaviors, and attitudes.
