Millennials were the largest generation group in the United States in 2024, with an estimated population of ***** million. Born between 1981 and 1996, Millennials recently surpassed Baby Boomers as the biggest group, and they will continue to be a major part of the population for many years. The rise of Generation Alpha Generation Alpha is the most recent to have been named, and many group members will not be able to remember a time before smartphones and social media. As of 2024, the oldest Generation Alpha members were still only aging into adolescents. However, the group already makes up around ***** percent of the U.S. population, and they are said to be the most racially and ethnically diverse of all the generation groups. Boomers vs. Millennials The number of Baby Boomers, whose generation was defined by the boom in births following the Second World War, has fallen by around ***** million since 2010. However, they remain the second-largest generation group, and aging Boomers are contributing to steady increases in the median age of the population. Meanwhile, the Millennial generation continues to grow, and one reason for this is the increasing number of young immigrants arriving in the United States.

In 2024, Millennials were the largest generation group in the United States, making up about 21.81 percent of the population. However, Generation Z was not far behind, with Gen Z accounting for around 20.81 percent of the population in that year.

There were approximately 14.69 million millennials in the United Kingdom in 2023. This generation, sometimes called Generation Y were born between 1981 and 1996 and are mainly the children of the post-war Baby Boomer generation. As of 2023, Millennials were the largest generational cohort in the UK, followed by Generation X at 14.04 million people, Baby Boomers at 13.57 million, and then by Generation Z at 13.2 million. The most numerous single-year of age for Millennials, and the UK as a whole, was 35 at 956,116. Boomerang generation The first cohort of millennials came of age at the turn of the century and have almost certainly been heavily influenced by the growth of internet accessibility during this time. The economic challenges faced by this generation may have a relation to the increasing share of young adults who live with their parents in the UK. This has led to the perhaps unfair, characterization of millennials as the boomerang generation, who failed to grow-up and mature. Some of these negative stereotypes regarding Millennials have since shifted to the next youngest generation, Generation Z, who have started to enter the workplace since the mid-2010s. Generation Remain One of the main challenges that British millennials currently face are their prospects after Brexit. Although the United Kingdom voted to leave the European Union in June 2016, there were clear divisions between regions, classes and age-groups. Most millennials voted to remain in the Brexit referendum with 73 percent of people aged 18 to 24, and 62 percent of those aged 25 to 34 voting to remain. In the next UK election, the majority of 25 to 49-year-olds intend to vote for the Labour Party, with only a slight majority of those over 65 planning to vote for the Conservative Party. Millennials also still appear to oppose Brexit, with approximately 65 percent of 25 to 49-year-olds believing Brexit to have been the wrong decision.

This map layer shows the prevalent generations that make up the population of the United States using multiple scales. As of 2018, the most predominant generations in the U.S. are Baby Boomers (born 1946-1964), Millennials (born 1981-1998), and Generation Z (born 1999-2016). Currently, Millennials are the most predominant population in the U.S.A generation represents a group of people who are born around the same time and experience world events and trends during the same stage of life through similar mediums (for example, online, television, print, or radio). Because of this, people born in the same generation are expected to have been exposed to similar values and developmental experiences, which may cause them to exhibit similar traits or behaviors over their lifetimes. Generations provide scientists and government officials the opportunity to measure public attitudes on important issues by people’s current position in life and document those differences across demographic groups and geographic regions. Generational cohorts also give researchers the ability to understand how different developmental experiences, such as technological, political, economic, and social changes, influence people’s opinions and personalities. Studying people in generational groups is significant because an individual’s age is a conventional predictor for understanding cultural and political gaps within the U.S. population.Though there is no exact equation to determine generational cutoff points, it is understood that we designate generational spans based on a 15- to 20-year gap. The only generational period officially designated by the U.S. Census Bureau is based on the surge of births after World War II in 1946 and a significant decline in birth rates after 1964 (Baby Boomers). From that point, generational gaps have been determined by significant political, economic, and social changes that define one’s formative years (for example, Generation Z is considered to be marked by children who were directly affected by the al Qaeda attacks of September 11, 2001).In this map layer, we visualize six active generations in the U.S., each marked by significant changes in American history:The Greatest Generation (born 1901-1924): Tom Brokaw’s 1998 book, The Greatest Generation, coined the term ‘the Greatest Generation” to describe Americans who lived through the Great Depression and later fought in WWII. This generation had significant job and education opportunities as the war ended and the postwar economic booms impacted America.The Silent Generation (born 1925-1945): The title “Silent Generation” originated from a 1951 essay published in Time magazine that proposed the idea that people born during this period were more cautious than their parents. Conflict from the Cold War and the potential for nuclear war led to widespread levels of discomfort and uncertainty throughout the generation.Baby Boomers (born 1946-1964): Baby Boomers were named after a significant increase in births after World War II. During this 20-year span, life was dramatically different for those born at the beginning of the generation than those born at the tail end of the generation. The first 10 years of Baby Boomers (Baby Boomers I) grew up in an era defined by the civil rights movement and the Vietnam War, in which a lot of this generation either fought in or protested against the war. Baby Boomers I tended to have great economic opportunities and were optimistic about the future of America. In contrast, the last 10 years of Baby Boomers (Baby Boomers II) had fewer job opportunities and available housing than their Boomer I counterparts. The effects of the Vietnam War and the Watergate scandal led a lot of second-wave boomers to lose trust in the American government. Generation X (born 1965-1980): The label “Generation X” comes from Douglas Coupland’s 1991 book, Generation X: Tales for An Accelerated Culture. This generation was notoriously exposed to more hands-off parenting, out-of-home childcare, and higher rates of divorce than other generations. As a result, many Gen X parents today are concerned about avoiding broken homes with their own kids.Millennials (born 1981-1998): During the adolescence of Millennials, America underwent a technological revolution with the emergence of the internet. Because of this, Millennials are generally characterized by older generations to be technologically savvy.Generation Z (born 1999-2016): Generation Z or “Zoomers” represent a generation raised on the internet and social media. Gen Z makes up the most ethnically diverse and largest generation in American history. Like Millennials, Gen Z is recognized by older generations to be very familiar with and/or addicted to technology.Questions to ask when you look at this mapDo you notice any trends with the predominant generations located in big cities?

Income quintiles are assigned based on equivalized household disposable income, which takes into account differences in household size and composition using a method proposed by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD). The OECD-modified" equivalence scale assigns a value of 1 to the first adult Age groups refer to the age group of the major income earner. Housing tenure of household Refers to the main source of income for the household, either from wages and salaries, self-employment income, net property income, current transfers received related to pension benefits, or from other current transfers received from non-pension related sources (others). Distributions by generation are defined as follows and are based on the birth year of the major income earner : pre-1946 for those born before 1946, baby boom for those born between 1946 and 1964, generation X for those born between 1965 and 1980 and millennials for those born after 1980. Note that generation Z has been combined with the millennial generation as their sample size is relatively small.

In 2023, there were about **** million Millennials estimated to be living in the United States, making them the largest generation group in the country. In comparison, there were ***** million Gen Z and ***** million Gen X estimated to be in the United States in that year.

As of 2023, the estimated population of Gen Z in the United Kingdom was 13.2 million, ranging from eleven to 26-year's old. The most-common single year of age for Gen Z in this year was 26, at 887,804, while there were 788,039 that were aged 17, the least common year of age.

The Millennial Trends Survey (MTS 2019) was administered online between March 4-27, 2019 in both English and French, by Sarah Wilkins-Laflamme at the University of Waterloo. The questionnaire contains a total of 69 questions on the respondent's sociodemographic characteristics, (non)religious and (non)spiritual affiliations, beliefs and practices, friendship networks as well as inclusivity attitudes. This survey was reviewed and received ethics clearance through the University of Waterloo's Research Ethics Committee.

A total of 2,514 respondents aged 18-35 completed the 15-minute web survey (1,508 from Canada and 1,006 from the U.S.). Respondents were recruited through "https://leger360.com" Target="_blank">Leger's panel of registered members to complete the survey hosted by "https://uwaterloo.ca/survey-research-centre/" Target="_blank">the University of Waterloo's Survey Research Centre. Potential respondents were sent an e-mail invitation to complete the web survey, and then received reminders up to two times, if necessary. Age, gender, regional and education level quotas were applied during the initial random selection of respondents, and later monitored as responses came in to adjust further recruitment efforts and completes. Post-stratification weights were then created and applied to the statistical analyses in order to achieve greater young adult population representativeness on the variables of country of birth, household income, and race/ethnicity. The final response rate for the MTS 2019 was 6.5 percent: lower than the 10-15 percent response rates common for online surveys, mainly because of the additional recruitment efforts to fill some of the harder to reach quotas (notably young adult males with no university education). Additional details can be found in the Millennial Trends Survey - Technical Report document (Technical Report is attached to the original survey below - after page 55).

Globalization has made human mobility high and the employment sector in a tight competition. In this era of globalization, all workers from various countries can find the same point of competition, Indonesia is no exception. Indonesia has a high population surplus and Indonesia also has a population dominated by productive generations. However, the era of globalization also brings a quite worrying impact, namely in the age of free competition. With the implementation of free trade cooperation, many foreign workers must be allowed to work in Indonesia and compete freely with workers from Indonesia. Competitiveness is crucial to keep Indonesian workers have a sense of competitiveness with workers from other countries (Ernst & Haar, 2019). The purpose of this study is to determine the competitiveness of Generation Z in the face of a free work competition in the disruptive era by identifying some main ideas about preparing and equipping Generation Z in developing portfolios and skills needed by the world of work. This research will use two option methods. The first method is a quantitative paradigm by using a questionnaire as a tool to determine the respondent's perspective with some questions. The second method is a qualitative paradigm by using a focus group discussion to describe a detail of the phenomenon to be analyzed comprehensively.

In 2023, half of Generation Z in the United States were white. In comparison, 48 percent of Gen Alpha were white in that year, making it the first generation that does not have a majority white population in the United States.

North America Rigid Bulk Packaging Market size was valued at USD 31.40 Billion in 2024 and is expected to reach USD 36 Billion by 2032, growing at a CAGR of 1.7% from 2026-2032.

North America Rigid Bulk Packaging Market Drivers

Busy Lifestyles: The hectic schedules of North American consumers, characterized by long working hours and increased commitments, leave limited time for meal preparation. This makes RTE foods an appealing solution for quick and easy meals without compromising on taste or quality.

Dual-Income Households: The rising number of dual-income households further reduces the time available for cooking, boosting the demand for convenient meal options like RTE foods.

Urbanization: The increasing concentration of the population in urban areas often correlates with busier lifestyles and a greater reliance on convenient food solutions.

Growing Millennial Population: Millennials, a significant consumer demographic, often prioritize convenience and are more likely to opt for RTE meals due to their busy schedules and openness to diverse food options.

Smaller Household Sizes: The rise in single-person households and smaller family units also contributes to the demand for single-serving and conveniently packaged RTE meals.
