In 2020, one in ten people eligible to vote in the United States are Gen Zers. The oldest Gen Zers turn 23 this year, and 24 million young people will be eligible to vote in November.

Gen Zers are on a different educational trajectory than previous generations. They are less likely to drop out of school. The Pew Research Center study links this to the fact that these young people increasingly come from families with higher levels of education. In 2019, 44% of Gen Zers ages 7 to 17 lived with a parent who had a bachelor’s degree or higher, compared to 33% of Millennials at the same age.
