This project started with a curiosity about how generations influence Romania’s changing society and how they are influenced in return. As Gen Z joined the workforce, I wanted to see if people’s views on generational differences matched real socio-economic conditions. The project took place during Romania’s first census in ten years and used this opportunity to rethink how we view the population.

 

Using data visualizations, it compares how different age groups have shaped demographics, politics, and the economy, and puts these trends in historical context. Historically, I focused on important factors such as urbanization, changes in democracy, and shifts in the economy to understand what influenced each generation. Although there are global labels for generations, this project shows how Romania’s path is unique.

 

The visualization aims to balance clear data presentation with visual appeal. Looking back, some charts focused more on looks than on clarity. Next time, I would make the variables and their connections easier to see, while still keeping the visuals engaging.
