Usually research on the habits of each generation is based on historical data, but other controls besides

the age factor also need to be carried out in determining differences between generations.

Differences between generations are usually associated with differences in attitudes or beliefs held by
an age group. Moreover, these differences were influenced by external forces that had uniquely shaped
them over the years.

External forces that can influence are social change, economic conditions, technological progress, or
politics. However, differences in habits are not always associated with differences in age either.

Another factor that can affect age differences is demographic changes. However, demographic changes
can be tricky because they play into patterns that initially resemble changing ages.

Thresholds Used for Classification of Generations

Still on the Paw Research Center page, it is known that there is no exact science that regulates garden
boundaries to classify generations. However, generations are usually calculated based on the time
period.

Unfortunately, there is no agreed upon formula for how long each generation has. For 16 years (1981 to
1996), the definition of work related to millennials was equivalent to the previous generation, namely
Generation X (born between 1965-1980).

According to this definition, these two generations are shorter than the Baby Boomer generation (19
years). This generation is also the only generation to have garden boundaries set by the US Census
Bureau, based on the post-World War II increase in births.

While there is no definite threshold, it is believed that 1996 was the cutoff point between millennials
and Generation Z.

This is determined through various factors, including important political, economic and social factors
that determine the format of the years of the millennial generation.
Generational Names Based on Age
