Millennials

Millennials are a demographic cohort of people born between the early 1980s and the mid-1990s, also known as Generation Y. However, the same years may vary slightly depending on the source. This group is the first generation to reach adulthood in the new millennium. They are characterized by their technology use, work ethics, social beliefs, and lifestyle choices. They are often considered tech-savvy, diverse, politically and socially conscious, and interested in work-life balance.

What Is the Millennial Age Range?

The Millennial generation typically refers to people born between 1981 and 1996. Therefore, the age range for Millennials in 2023 would be between 27 to 42 years old. 

What makes millennials different from other generations?

The millennial generation experienced the rise of the internet, personal computers, and social media during their upbringing. Their parents have raised them to think differently than previous generations, namely baby boomers (born 1946–1964) and Generation X (born 1965–1980). Millennials were raised in a world where technology was constantly present. Because of this, they tend to own smartphones more than any other generation, giving them immediate access to much information. This may cause them to feel overwhelmed when attempting to manage their time effectively because there is always something new happening online. Many Millennials tend to prioritize exploring different parts of the globe and positively impacting society rather than settling down to buy a home or start a family. This could be because traditional measures of success, such as property ownership or having kids, are often out of reach for them due to financial limitations.
