Following a troubling year, where geopolitical and social concerns gave rise to a new wave of business activism, millennials and Gen Z are sounding the alarm, according to Deloitte's seventh annual Millennial Survey. Millennials' opinions about business' motivations and ethics, which had trended up the past two years, retreated dramatically this year, as did their sense of loyalty.

The findings are based on the views of more than 10,000 millennials questioned across 36 countries and more than 1,800 Gen Z respondents questioned in six countries. The survey was conducted 24 November 2017 through 15 January 2018.
