Millennials vs. Generation Z

Anonymous032819 — Wed, 05 Aug 2020 15:37:46 GMT

It seems there might be some confusion as to what exactly constitutes a "Millennial" .

According to several websites, including Wikipedia, a Millennial is anyone born between 1981 and 1996.

That means that the oldest Millennial is 39, yes, 39 years old, and the youngest is 24.

Anyone born after 1997, is known as Generation Z.

So, there are Millennial parents, raising a Gen. Z kids.

Starting in 2025, the first of Generation Alpha will be born.

Just some food for thought.

What is someone born during 1997?

Generation Z

The American Psychological Association starts Generation Z at 1997. News outlets such as The Wall Street Journal and the Harvard Business Review describe Generation Z as people born since 1997, and the New York Times describes members of Generation Z as people born after 1996.

@geezerette @Lipstickdiva

The post indicated Millenials - up to 1996.

The post indicated Gen Z AFTER 1997.

Hence the tongue-in-cheek 'What happened to 1997?"

I raised 3 millenials. This confident group sure doesn't want to repeat mistakes of previous generations. What's the average age of marriage for this group - almost 30? And many will remain unmarried until 40 - or never married. I work at a campus around a lot of Gen Z - the tech-y, financially focused, entrepreneurial generation. Between Mills & Z's I think they'll change the world -- for the better!

They might change the world of they'll make their own mistakes. I'm a part of the Gen X or Gen Y generation. I work with close to retirement baby boomers and millennials. People in my age range learned from those who came before us. We made suggestions or changes after we got the lay of the land. We tended to respect experience and institutional knowledge. But a lot of millennials walk in the door thinking they have all the answers. There's a confidence that borders on arrogance. That's not true of everyone of course. Most are educated, motivated, and eager to learn. They quickly become assets to the organization.
