Comparison of Generations

Since 2010, Millennials' rating of churches and other religious organizations has dipped 18 percentage points. Their views of the national news media also have grown more negative.

From Millennials in the workforce to religion in America, our most popular posts told important stories about trends shaping our world.

From trust in government to views of climate change, here are some of Pew Research Center's most memorable findings of the year.

Millennials are less religious than older Americans and less likely to identify with a religious group, and those traits are reflected in the way they celebrate Christmas.

A new Pew Research Center report looks at the challenges parents face in raising their children and how parenting approaches differ across demographic groups.

Only about half of Millennials say they believe in God with absolute certainty, and four-in-ten say religion is very important in their lives.

That's compared with 27% of Gen Xers and 24% of Boomers who say the same.

The roughly 47% of the population today who were born under the one-child policy lived through a very different China than those born before.

A larger share of young women live at home with their parents or other relatives than at any point since 1940, as more attend college and marry later in life.

Our new report finds that whether U.S. adults are becoming more or less religious depends, in part, on how religious observance is measured.
