How old is the youngest Millennial?

How old is the oldest Millennial?

More likely than not you probably guessed wrong.

In a meeting today, where Millennial’s were the topic (and people love to opine on the millennial generation) I realized they weren’t actually talking about Millennials.

They were talking about Generation Z.

Millennial’s are not 22 year old college ‘kids’,

the youngest Millennial is about 25/26

The older Millennials are just turning 40!

I think the confusion is that people seem to type generations as a stage of life. If you are thinking Millennials are college kids (18-22) you are wrong, that is now Gen Z.

The Gen Z cohort will have impact. It makes up 25% of the population, it is larger than the Baby Boomer generation and has distinctly different behaviors from the other generational cohorts.

Put it simply, Gen Z’s can and will change many current trends.

What is the next Generation?

Some want it to be called Generation Alpha.
