How old someone is often predicts how they think and act. Whether it’s about global affairs or social rules, how people of different ages see things can be different and interesting.

Age tells us two important things about a person: where they are in life, whether they’re young adults or middle-aged. Also, which group of people do they belong to based on when they were born?

The Pew Research Center says generations are groups of people born in the same 15- to 20-year period. These specific time frames help us with the way we see the world.

From baby boomers to Gen Zs, millions of people worldwide share a generational connection. This connection is based on being born within the same period, creating distinct groups with shared experiences and characteristics.

Even so, defining each generation and determining one’s belonging can sometimes be unclear. What years do we consider for Gen X and the other generations?

According to Beresford Research, Generation X includes individuals born between 1965 and 1980. Gen X follows the baby boomers. Britannica describes Gen Xers as “resourceful, independent, and keen on maintaining work-life balance.”

Baby boomers are individuals born between 1946 and 1964. Further, they represent the generation born after World War II, characterized by a significant increase in birth rates during that period.

POLL — Should Public Schools Include Critical Race Theory and Sex Education in Their Curriculum?

The U.S. Census Bureau mentions a brief post-World War I birth spike lasting two years. In contrast, baby boomers were born over 18 years, experiencing a sustained increase after World War II.

Further, the baby boomer generation also grew up in the backdrop of the Vietnam War and the moon landing. Millennials fall between Gen X and Gen Z, fittingly giving them the other name –Generation Y.

If you were born between 1981 and 1996, consider yourself a millennial. Individuals born after 1996 belong to a different generation. Millennials are recognized as the “most racially and ethnically diverse adult generation in the nation’s history.”

Pew Research Center selected the cutoff year as it encapsulates the political, economic, and social factors that shaped the millennial generation.

Gen Z spans from 1997 to 2012, meaning anyone born within those years belongs to this generation. Millennials were born between 1981 and 1996 and are the most racially and ethnically diverse adult generation in the nation’s history.

Major political, economic, and social events distinguish Gen Z, born after 1996, from Millennials. For example, they were either very young or not yet born during the 9/11 attacks in 2001.
