2005 is the correct start date for Genz (new baby bust) - Gggecko - 03-21-2022 I think strauss and howe were spot on with their millenial range for 1982-2004 There are many others threads on this topic, but a little outdated. Some time is passed and I think there is a clear picture on the generation z start date. In the mid-late 2000s just right before the great recession, the birth rate started to sharply plummet, and it has kept dropping ever since. The economy never fully recovered, plus the covid and other problems (like inflation, house pricing) has kept it at a historic low. This also mirrors the trends in previous generations (the silent generation birth rate drops massively in the late 1920s, and gen x birth rate drops in the early 1960s). Just from looking at the graph, it look clear that the millenial generation is the 'echo boomers' from the early 80s to the 2000s, and genz is the next bust https://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-7731317/US-birth-rates-hit-30-year-low-CDC-reports.html I know people debate this topic over things like qualities and traits but it's always filled with anecdotes, I thought the birth rates were an interesting twist. It shows a clean, objective trend RE: 2005 is the correct start date for Genz (new baby bust) - David Horn - 03-22-2022 A lot of great points raised here and presented in graphical form for once. Good work!
