Some researchers are using the name Generation Alpha for kids born since Many observers debate the precise dates and definitions or decry stereotypes attached to each generation.

Although these phrases, as jargon, stem from the larger discipline of demographics, and are used most frequently by market researchers, the fact is everybody uses these words and phrases. In effect, these cue words or phrases for the sub components of society demarcated by age are not only useful, but are generally the language used by non-demographers and society as a whole when discussing the current spectrum of population cohorts.

Our goal, this month, then, is to provide a primer on the identification and description of the population cohorts in America as currently widely but not universally agreed upon by demographers and market researchers. Born: Coming of Age: Age in 83 to 92 Current Population: million and declining rapidly.

Another example is education. While baby boomers and Gen X may not have paid for their university education, very few were actually able to take advantage. In England and Wales , participation was at 8. Overall levels of education have actually improved over time.

The problems facing younger cohorts have more to do with the social limits to growth than the cost of education. So, though more people are gaining degrees , only one person can get the job or the promotion.
