Gen Z and Millennial Survey 2025

Deloitte’s Gen Z and Millennial Survey, Thailand perspectives, now in its 5th year, examines the factors shaping the views of 330 Gen Z and millennial respondents in Thailand. The results reveal a cohort of young professionals who are rejecting traditional rules and antiquated structures in their pursuit of career satisfaction—and ultimately, happiness.

Gen Zs and millennials are ambitious. But for them, success is not necessarily about climbing the corporate ladder. Learning and development is a priority, and they expect their employers to provide these opportunities. Some have foregone higher education to pursue the practical skills that trade or vocational training provides. And as technology transforms the world of work, Gen Zs and millennials are enhancing their knowledge and embracing new tools, such as GenAI.

These generations are seeking more than just a job. Making money is important but so is finding meaningful work and well-being. They are looking for careers with the right balance of these factors, a “trifecta” that can be hard to find.

They have high expectations for their employers, and they often job hop to meet their career ambitions in a world where the social contract between employers and employees has eroded. Many feel their managers are not meeting their needs. Some believe that companies are not doing enough to address workplace stress. And most are feeling the pressures of the cost of living.

The findings demonstrate the need for organizations, senior leaders, and managers to create environments where workers can not only attain the trifecta of meaningful work, financial security, and well-being, but also achieve the professional growth they are looking for. By supporting these pillars consistently, organizations can uphold the social contract and create a cycle of satisfaction, engagement, and success.
