BABY BOOMERS(1946-1964)
"More babies were born in 1946 than ever before: 3.4 million, 20 percent more than in 1945."
The Baby boom generation actually took up 40% of the nation. It occurred after the war, and the want for children grew, for the wives of soldiers had put off having children to wait for their husbands to come home.
GENERATION X(1964-1981)
"Members of Generation X are often characterized as being well-educated but under-employed." It was more common to see divorced woman in this generation which meant single moms. Because the moms had to earn a living to support their children, the children in this generation grew up and became more independent .
GENERATION Y/ NEW BOOMERS (1983-2001)
This generation has been known to change job and even careers frequently. They are known to be less committed to work then other generations. They are also known as the 'Me, Me, Me' Generation. They are also the biggest since the Baby Boomers. "Labeling them the ‘Me, Me, Me’ generation: narcissistic, fame-obsessed, and self interested"
Baby Boomers and Gen. Y are similar due to the fact that Gen. Y has had almost as many kids as the Baby Boomers. Other than that they have little in common, but some could be their parents. Generation X seems to put more effort into their work, while Generation Y may work but may also not have a job for very long.
