Are 15 year-olds considered millennials?

Best Answers

Yes and No, as there are no precise dates for when the generation starts and ends. Demographers and researchers typically use the early 1980s as starting birth years and use the mid 1990s to the early 2000s as final birth years for the Millennial Generation. read more

The Millennial Generation’s birth years are, roughly, 1981 to 1997. Some will say 1982 is the first birth year; and some will say 2000 is the final birth year. Today’s 15- year old would have been born in mid-to-late 2002 or early-to-mid 2003, so definitely not a Millennial by anyone’s standard. read more

By contrast, Generation Z tends to be the product of Generation X, a relatively small, jaded generation that came of age in the post-Watergate, post-Vietnam funk of the 1970s, when horizons seemed limited. read more

A 2016 study from Pew Research showed millennials delay some activities considered rites of passage of adulthood with data showing young adults aged 18–34 were more likely to live with parents than with a relationship partner, an unprecedented occurrence since data collection began in 1880. read more
