Lost Generation
The Lost Generation was the social generational cohort in the Western world that was in early adulthood during World War I. "Lost" in this context refers to the "disoriented, wandering, directionless" spirit of many of the war's survivors in the early postwar period. The term is also particularly used to refer to a group of American expatriate writers living in Paris during the 1920s. Gertrude Stein is credited with coining the term, and it was subsequently popularised by Ernest Hemingway, who used it in the epigraph for his 1926 novel ''The Sun Also Rises'': "You are all a lost generation." In a more general sense, the Lost Generation is considered to be made up of individuals born between 1883 and 1900. In the wake of the Industrial Revolution, Western members of the Lost Generation grew up in societies which were more literate, consumerist and media-saturated than ever before, but which also tended to maintain strictly conservative social values. Young men of the cohort we ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Down To The Countryside Movement
The Up to the Mountains and Down to the Countryside Movement, often known simply as the Down to the Countryside Movement, was a policy instituted in the People's Republic of China between mid 1950s and 1978. As a result of what he perceived to be pro-bourgeois thinking prevalent during the Cultural Revolution, Chairman Mao Zedong declared certain privileged urban youth would be sent to mountainous areas or farming villages to learn from the workers and farmers there. In total, approximately 17 million youth were sent to rural areas as a result of the movement. Usually only the oldest child had to go, but younger siblings could volunteer to go instead. Chairman Mao's policy differed from Chinese President Liu Shaoqi's early 1960s sending-down policy in its political context. President Liu Shaoqi instituted the first sending-down policy to redistribute excess urban population following the Great Chinese Famine and the Great Leap Forward. Mao's stated aim for the policy was to e ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Employment Ice Age
Employment Ice Age ( ja, 就職氷河期, Shūshoku Hyōgaki) (or Lost Generation) is a term in Japan that refers to people who became accustomed to unstable and temporary employment beginning in the 1990s and until at least 2010. This period has particularly affected Gen X (people in their 40s and 50s in 2020) and impacted their financial well-being, health, outlook, and ability to start families. Given Japan's aging population, there is concern that government focus on the elderly has overshadowed those too poor to have ever started a family, who themselves will be moving into old age largely devoid of the financial resources other generations had. Government efforts on this matter have been deemed far too little and too late, and ''Nikkei'' writers claim that lawmakers remain unaware of the gravity of the situation. Economic impact Japan's asset price bubble collapse in 1991 led to a period of economic stagnation known as the " Lost Decade", sometimes extended as the "Lost 2 ...
