OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
China’s Generation Y, born in the 1980s and 1990s, is an important cohort group in Chinese society. Based on a large-scale survey in Shanghai, China, this study delves into the characteristics of value confiscation and identification, indicating that Chinese Generation Y was born in a time of great change, high mobility and quick digitization, giving them a prolonged youth period, diverse trajectories, and multiple chances. The study shows that Generation Y has values different from western youth, where post-materialism coexist among them.
