We Are Defined As…
The millennial generation is uniquely defined by the situations in
which we were raised. We were brought up by the hard-working
baby-boomers who taught us to strive for what we deserve. We
are independent and proactive go-getters, and are involved in the
community. We were taught to persevere, a trait that was both
tested and strengthened by the unique, and sometimes tragic,
events that occurred throughout our lives. We are approximately
75 million individuals who were born between 1980 and 2000. We
are unique, strong-willed, and diverse. We are the millennial
generation.
We Are Defined By Our
Past

increase in doctoral degrees from 1980 until 2005
(Kalyan).
We Are Surpassing
Previous Generations
Millennials are more highly educated when ranked with
other generations at comparable ages. More than half of
Millennials have at least some college education (54%),
compared with 49% of Gen Xers, 36% of Boomers and
24% of the Silent generation when they were ages 18 to
28. Millennials, when compared with previous
generations at the same age, also are more likely to have
completed high school.
An analysis of education trends by gender shows that
Millennial women surpass Millennial men in the share
