"young generation" and "the younger generation"

What is a difference between the following 2 expressions:
1) young generation
2) the younger generation

Could you please give several examples of their using (additional question: I am not sure as well whether I should put here "usage" or "using")?

Thank you in advance :)

Hi Tvita

1) young generation is a generation that is young
2) younger generation: in comparison to the previous and older generation

Ex: examples of their usage

:-D;-)

So in the following sentence which expression would be better to apply?

Sociological research shows that advertising has a huge impact on society, especially on (the) young(er) generation.

Hi Tvita
