“…Sometimes authors highlight the Millennials' knowledge of ecology principles and their adoption in consumption and lifestyle [84][85][86][87][88]. In other cases, Millennials are investigated to assess their interaction by ICT, e.g., the assessment of computer games to reach the triple bottom line [89,90] or their attitude towards sustainability and information technologies [91].…”

The aim of this study is to analyze the perception of the meaning of sustainability in the food sector. A sample of 268 University students belonging to the Millennial generation was identified and a survey was carried out to assess the interaction between this kind of Millennials and food sustainability. Collected data were explored with descriptive statistics, followed by multivariate statistical techniques to get an integrated vision of relationships among the variables. Outcomes evidence four groups of Millennials with specific peculiarities, i.e., “Socio-Nature Sensitives”, characterized by a high level of attention for the socio-economic dimension and sustainable ways of food production; “Info-Supporter”, very sensitive to labeling and warranty systems; “Proactive-Oriented”, interested in innovative activities; “Indifferent Millennials”, assigning the issue in general a low level of importance. Results provide useful information and some contribution to public institutions and private stakeholders so as to implement new rules and new tools in the food sector, so as to reach the target of reducing waste and pollution. Substantial literature on interaction between Millennials and sustainability in the food sector has not yet been developed; the aim of this pioneer study is to offer some contribution to the debate among stakeholders on driving choices towards new consumption rules and production patterns.

“…Social aspects were also investigated, i.e., interaction amongst multiple generations of workers [49][50][51], behavioural assessment of various types of Millennials on the basis of the Great Recession, 9/11 and the election of the first African American US president [52], and Millennial behaviour regarding the decision to turn nursing activities into a working career [53]. Millennial perceptions of sustainability and the material effects of information technologies [54] were also verified with the ICT, i.e., assessment of the triple bottom line at computer games [55,56]. Last but not least, their opinions and purchase behaviour towards apparel products was also analysed [57].…”

Sustainability and Mountain Tourism: The Millennial’s Perspective

2017

Abstract:Evidence from several studies illustrates the different points of view through which sustainability and mountains have been studied over the years. Nowadays, interest in Millennials is increasing but no research has compared Millennials and sustainability in the mountain context. This study aims at defining sustainability with reference to Millennial perception of both winter and summer mountain sports. By analysing data gathered from a sample of 2292 Millennials (Piedmont area), the authors confirm their high degree of sensitivity towards sustainable issues and, above all, discover that there are differences in the sustainable perception Millennials have of both mountain winter and summer sports. More specifically, Millennial perception is deeply influenced by the place where they are used to living-mountains or cities-and by their gender. From a managerial point of view, results have direct implications on the administrators of mountain institutions who can implement appropriate initiatives in order to correctly sensitise Millennials towards mountain sports. Moreover, from a theoretical perspective, the study opens a new scenario on two important topics linked to sustainability, namely Millennials and mountain sports.
