Millennial is a term commonly used to describe the generational cohort born roughly between 1981 and 1996, though definitions may vary slightly among researchers and institutions. The designation "Millennial" reflects the generation’s coming of age around the turn of the millennium and their distinct sociocultural experiences compared to earlier cohorts. This group is often characterized in demographic studies by trends such as higher educational attainment, greater familiarity with digital technology, and evolving attitudes toward work, family, and identity. Notable sources like the Pew Research Center have analyzed Millennials’ behaviors and preferences, noting shifts in communication patterns, consumer habits, and political engagement. As a subject of ongoing research and cultural commentary, Millennials are frequently discussed in relation to economic challenges, social change, and their impact on the future of work and society.
