THE BABY – BOOMER GENERATION (1946 – 1964)
• Growing up, baby boomers didn’t seem to care that they 
were different from their parents. They expressly 
proclaimed their vision for their own culture rather than 
standing by “in silence”.
THE ‘X’ GENERATION – (1965 – 1980)
• In the 1990s, they were described as “slackers”, “cynical” 
and “disaffected”. Credited with entrepreneurial 
tendencies, research has shown that Generation Xers are 
active, happy and achieving a work-life balance.
THE MILLENNIAL GENERATION (1980 – 1995)
• The average millennial is disappointed as they notice a 
change in the ways that their parents grew up compared 
to their own experiences.
GENERATION Z – (1996 – 2014)
• As natural-born techies with entrepreneurial tendencies, 
they are unafraid of a future that features artificial 
intelligence and job automation.
SAY HELLO TO GENERATION ALPHA
• Generation Alpha – anyone born after 2010 is set to be the 
most transformative generation yet. Alphas didn’t just 
grow up with technology; they have been completely 
engrossed in it since birth.
