Demographic Cohorts

By AdrianaAguirre

  • Generation X

    Generation X, commonly abbreviated to Gen X, is the generation born after the Western Post–World War II baby boom. Demographers and commentators typically use birth dates ranging from the early 1960s to the early 1980s.

  • Generation Y

    Millennials (also known as the Millennial Generation[1] or Generation Y, abbreviated to Gen Y) are the demographic cohort following Generation X. There are no precise dates for when the generation starts and ends; most researchers and commentators use birth years ranging from the early 1980s to around 2000.

  • Generation Z

    Generation Z (commonly abbreviated to Gen Z, also known as iGeneration, Homeland Generation or Plurals) are the cohort of people born after the Millennials. The generation is most commonly defined with birth years starting in the mid-1990s,[1][2][3][4][5] although the early[6] or late 1990s[7][8] and early 2000s[9] have also been used as starting birth years for this generation.
