age for millennials
Date/Age Range of Baby Boomers, Generation X, and Generation Y. Here is the date range comparison between these 3 generations. Note that the start and end date are debatable. As I said in a previous post, generations don’t end with black and white borders. As someone who has researched Generation X around the globe for years, I know that the Millennials and their younger Generation Z siblings owe a great deal of their generational identity to Generation X. 1 As of 2012, only 19 percent of Millennials said that, generally, others can be trusted. 2  There are about 76 million Millennials in the United States (based on research using the years 1978-2000).  Millennials are the last generation born in the 20th century. Overall, the earliest proposed birthdate for Millennials is 1976 and the latest 2004. Given that a familial generation in developed nations lies somewhere between 25 and 30 years, we might reasonably consider those the start and end points. At least this site has the age ranges correct. I was born in 1962 and I am a late Baby Boomer (Not part of Generation X). I remember most of the Vietnam War, I watched Nixon resign on TV and I have first hand experience with things analog. (I also can turn on a TV without having a remote.) A closer look at these dates, which each researcher can determine as he or she chooses, uncovers that the supposedly vast numbers attributed to the Boomers and Millennials are based on dates that have reduced Xers' existence to a mere 14 years, compared to 18 and 20 years in the other two cohorts. Other proposed dates for Millennials: 1  According to Iconoclast, a consumer research firm, the first Millennials were born in 1978. 2  Newsweek magazine reported that the Millennial generation was born between 1977 and 1994.  In separate articles, the New York Times pegged the Millennials at 1976-1990 and 1978-1998. 1 They send a median of 50 texts a day. 2  As of 2012, only 19 percent of Millennials said that, generally, others can be trusted. 3  There are about 76 million Millennials in the United States (based on research using the years 1978-2000).  Millennials are the last generation born in the 20th century. This would make generation Y, in the year 2010, somewhere in the ballpark of 9-33 years old. For the most part, Generation Y are the children of the Baby Boomers, and in some cases, grandchildren. This is due to them being around their prime reproductive years during the 1980s (the last baby boomers turned 18 in 1982). 1 As of 2012, only 19 percent of Millennials said that, generally, others can be trusted. 2  There are about 76 million Millennials in the United States (based on research using the years 1978-2000). 3  Millennials are the last generation born in the 20th century.  Twenty percent have at least one immigrant parent.
