MILLENNIALS/ GEN Y
BORN 1981-1995
People born between 1981 and 1996 are generally considered to be part of the Millennial generation, also known as Generation Y. Millennials are the generation that comes after Generation X and before Generation Z. Most Millennials are the children of Baby Boomers and older Generation X, and they are often the parents of Generation Alpha.
GENERATION X
BORN 1966-1980
Generation X is sometimes called the “middle child” generation because it comes after the baby boomer generation and before the millennial generation. They are also sometimes called the “baby bust” generation because they were born when the high birth rates of the baby boomer era began to decline. This decline is partly attributed to the introduction of the birth control pill in the early 1960s.
Generation X grew up during a time of rapid technological advancement, but technology wasn’t as widely available as it is today. This generation is said to straddle both the digital and non-digital worlds, and to understand the importance of both. Some say that Generation Xers are resourceful, logical, good problem-solvers, self-sufficient, individualistic, and value freedom and responsibility.

THE SILENT GENERATION
BORN 1928-1945
