Millennials

Millennials, also known as Generation Y (or Gen Y), are the demographic cohort following Generation X and preceding Generation Z.

Researchers and popular media use the early 1980s as starting birth years and the mid-1990s to early 2000s as ending birth years, with the generation typically being defined as people born from 1981 to 1996.^[1]

Most millennials are the children of baby boomers and older Generation X.^[2] In turn millennials are often the parents of Generation Alpha.^[3]
