Young Adults/Millennials as Web Users (Ages 18–25)
Today’s young adults (aged 18 to 25) are a subgroup of the Millennial generation (which includes people born from 1980 to 2000). Most of them
are digital natives, meaning they grew up with access to digital communications technology. They are a critically important user group: many of
them are studying for degrees or beginning careers. Some of them are starting families and buying homes. They’re starting to earn more money,
and they’re comfortable with spending it online.
Online design and marketing blogs are rife with speculation and stereotypes about young adults, but few of these are based on fact. In an
effort to provide a research-based alternative, we conducted a comprehensive study involving 7 countries, 91 young adults, and 4 different
user-research methodologies.
Our findings shed light on:
• The unique ways that young adults use browser tabs
• How young adults multitask online
• The differences between young adults and teenagers
• The differences between young adults and older adults
• How young adults use social media
• A lack of international differences among young adults

, • Young adults’ expectations for all aspects of websites, including content, interaction design, and visual design
The Research
All of the participants in our study were aged 18–25. We intentionally recruited a mix of educational and occupational backgrounds. Each of the
participants fell into one of 4 categories:
• Young professional
• Graduate student
• Undergraduate student
• Young adult without an undergraduate degree.
Our earlier editions of the report included only current graduate and undergraduate students. Expanding to include recent graduates and those
young adults without postsecondary degrees enabled us to study a richer set of participants, with a wider variety of interests and backgrounds.
We found no substantial differences between the educational/occupational categories.
We conducted multiple rounds of usability testing with 91 participants. Of these test sessions, 79 were conducted in person, and 12 were
conducted remotely. These tests involved a combination of open-ended and site-specific tasks, using 372 different sites.
The usability testing took place in 7 different countries:
• Australia
