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.
The statistic shows the number of people in the U.S. in 2011 and 2030, by generation. By 2030, the Millennial generation will have 78 million people whereas the Boomer generation will only have 56 million people 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.
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? Suburbs? Rural areas?Where do you see big clusters of the same generation living in the same area?Which areas do you see the most diversity in generations?Look on the map for where you, your parents, aunts, uncles, and grandparents live. Do they live in areas where their generation is the most predominant?

This is a statistic on the number of single-person households by gender and age in a legal dong (eup/myeon/dong-ri). A legal dong is a lower administrative district of a city or district, and is designated by law. It provides timely statistics on various fields such as elections, education, taxation, welfare, transportation, and regional development based on the resident registration population and households. These statistics are used as basic data necessary for national administration and policymaking. In addition, resident registration population statistics can be checked and downloaded on the Ministry of the Interior and Safety's Resident Registration Population Statistics website (https://jumin.mois.go.kr), Public Data Portal (https://data.go.kr), etc.

In populations of facultatively sexual organisms the proportion of sexually produced offspring contributed each generation is a critical determinant of their evolutionary potential. However, estimating this parameter in natural populations has proved difficult. Here we develop a population genetic model for estimating the number of sexual events occurring per generation for facultatively sexual haploids possessing a biallelic mating type locus (e.g. Chlamydomonas, ascomycete fungi). Our model treats the population as two subpopulations possessing opposite mating type alleles which exchange genes only when a sexual event takes place. Where mating types are equally abundant we show that, for a neutral genetic marker, genetic differentiation between mating type subpopulations is a simple function of the effective population size, the frequency of sexual reproduction and the recombination fraction between the genetic marker and the mating type locus. We employ simulations to examine the effects of linkage of markers to the mating type locus, inequality of mating type frequencies, mutation rate and selection on this relationship. Finally we apply our model to estimate the number of sexual reproduction events per generation in populations of four species of facultatively sexual ascomycete fungi which have been jointly scored for mating type and a range of polymorphic molecular markers. Relative estimates of are in line with expectations based on the known reproductive biology of these species.

This table contains the cohort survival tables (per 1-year birth cohort) by sex and age for the population of the Netherlands. The table shows how many boys or girls out of a group of 100,000 newborns have reached the year in which they become 1, 2, 3, etc. years old. It is also possible to see how old these children will be on average. The table can be broken down into mortality probability, the number of people alive (table population), the number of deaths (table population) and (cohort) life expectancy per generation by gender and age. The (cohort) life expectancy, calculated from a cohort survival table, indicates what the actual lifespan is (or is expected to be, when the observed mortality probabilities are supplemented with mortality probabilities from the forecast period). See section 4 for an explanation of the difference between the period survival table and a cohort survival table. A choice can be made from figures in which only observed numbers have been calculated, or a series in which the observed numbers have been supplemented with future expectations of the number of deaths for the birth generations that are still alive. Data available: from birth generation 1850 Status of the figures: The figures based on the numbers of deaths observed up to and including the year 2021 are final. Figures supplemented with future expectations of the number of deaths come from the CBS Core Forecast 2022-2070. This forecast is reviewed once a year. Changes as of 16 December 2022: - The figures relating to mortality observations for 2021 have been incorporated in the table; - The figures relating to the forecasts have been replaced by those from the Core Forecast 2022-2070. When will new numbers come out? In December 2023, the mortality observations for 2022 will be processed in this table and the future expectations will be replaced by those from the Population Forecast 2023-2070.

The generation interval is the interval between the time that an individual is infected by an infector and the time this infector was infected. Its distribution underpins estimates of the reproductive number and hence informs public health strategies. Empirical generation-interval distributions are often derived from contact-tracing data. But linking observed generation intervals to the underlying generation interval required for modeling purposes is surprisingly not straightforward, and misspecifications can lead to incorrect estimates of the reproductive number, with the potential to misguide interventions to stop or slow an epidemic. Here, we clarify the theoretical framework for three conceptually different generation-interval distributions: the intrinsic'' one typically used in mathematical models and the
forward'' and ``backward'' ones typically observed from contact tracing data, looking respectively forward or backward in time. We explain how the relationship between thes...
