Challenges and obstacles faced by IGen with proposed solutions
Introduction
IGen members are still largely kids and adolescents who were born after 1996 to the present.
IGen are very huge and diverse and energetic generation. They have an ambition of doing every
task with passion. They (IGen) want to get retired faster than the millennials, drive safely, make
