Generation X is anyone born from 1965 to 1980.
Baby boomers are anyone born from 1946 to 1964.
Millennials are anyone born from 1981 to 1996.
Generation Z is anyone born from 1997 to 2012.
The Pew Research Center explains that generations are defined by groups of people born within the same 15-20 year span. They explain how generations are measured to observe change over time across people. “They can provide a way to understand how different formative experiences interact with the life-cycle and aging process to shape people’s view of the world,” says Pew.
From baby boomers to Gen X to millennials to Gen Z and the newly emerging Gen Alpha, millions of people across the world connect under the generational relation of being born within the same time period. Even so, it sometimes can be unclear how each generation is defined and to which one you belong. What years are Gen X and other generations?
