Generation Y

[Barry_White]

The Silent Generation... people born between 1925 and 1945.

The Baby Boomers... people born between 1946 and 1964.

Generation X... people born between 1965 and 1982.

Generation Y... people born between 1983 and 1997.


Why do we call the last group of people Generation Y? I had no idea
until I saw this caricaturist's explanation! A picture is worth a
thousand words!

X actually started in 63. It is marked by the introduction of the contraceptive pill and the subsequent reduction in the birth rate.
