Abstract

The expanded third edition of The Millennials: Americans Born 1977 to 1994 gives researchers a comprehensive demographic and socioeconomic profile of the nation’s children, teens, and young adults. The Millennials brings you details about the youth generation from two perspectives—the first, as independent individuals establishing themselves in the household and labor markets; the second as children in the homes of their parents. Its ten chapters bring you the numbers and analysis behind their Education, Health, Housing, Income, Labor Force, Living Arrangements, Population, and Spending. Children and Their Families, another new chapter, looks at family relationships, computer use, and the attitudes of college freshmen. The Millennial generation, aged 12 to 29 in 2006, numbers almost 73 million and is the second-largest generation after the Baby Boom. It is also the nation’s most racially and ethnically diverse generation.
