GEN X

Generation X (or Gen X for short) is the demographic cohort following the baby boomers and preceding the millennials. Researchers and popular media use the mid-to-late 1960s as starting birth years and the late 1970s to early 1980s as ending birth years, with the generation being generally defined as people born from 1965 to 1980.[1] Harvard University defines Generation X as those people born between 1965 and 1984.[2] By this definition and U.S. Census data, there are 65.2 million Gen Xers[3] in the United States as of 2019.[4] Most members of Generation X are the children of the Silent Generation and early boomers;[5][6] Xers are also often the parents of millennials[5] and Generation Z.[7]
