What’s more interesting is that there is a group of individuals growing with these strong trends. And although everyone in the world itself is also experiencing this, the Millennials themselves are unique simply due to the fact that much of what is happening in their young lives will shape their future. And the future of the world.
What’s even more fascinating is the fact that there is no comparison to backdrop against the Millennials. Much of what they are experiencing is new to everyone. With all that being said, below is the composition of research based statistics. Of which all are painting a picture of Millennial behavior for all of to understand.
Based on our understandings of who the Millennials are, they are individuals born roughly between the years of 1980 to 2000 – varying on opinion. That puts the oldest at 30 and youngest at 10.
