The aim of the article is to indicate a new, different way to research the foundation of decision making and behaviour of young people (generations Y and Z) on the labour market. The differentiating criterion of younger people is the fact that they are raised and educated in a globalizing world of dynamie development of information and communication technologies. Based on research in the area of neuroscience, it is assumed that the way people function activates the appropriate regions of the brain and mental connections which in consequence shape minds and, as a result, changes the way they perceive the world, think and act. The article deliberately confronts findings from various areas of knowledge related to the characterization of generations Y and Z, and is based on subject literature and empirical data presented in adequate reports. The first part of the article focuses on the challenges of young people on labour market characterizations. The aim of the second part is to interpret from the neurosciences perspective chosen modes of thinking and behaving of young people as determinants of their transferrable competencies, valued by employers, and predictors of (future) behaviours on the labour market.
