The Center for Generational Kinetics defines a generation as “a group of people born around the same time and raised around the same place” who “exhibit similar characteristics, preferences, and values over their lifetimes.” They describe baby boomers as those born from 1946 to 1964, members of Generation X as those born from 1965 to 1976, Millennials as those born from 1977 to 1995 and members of Generation Z as those born after 1995.
