Millennials

From Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Millennials (also known as Generation Y)  are the demographic cohortfollowing 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. 1981 to 1996 is one typically used range.[1][2] Other demographers have it up to 2001 as ending birth years.[3][4]

People in this generation are sometimes called Echo Boomers because of the high birth rate during this period. The high birth rate almost exceeds that of the Baby Boom period after World War II.
