Leaving AARP.org Website

You are now leaving AARP.org and going to a website that is not operated by AARP. A different privacy policy and terms of service will apply.

​Generation X is the population group born between 1965 and 1979.  Because the generation falls between two large cohorts, the Baby Boomers and Millennials, Gen X is considered the sandwich generation.  Through a series of infographics, AARP Research presents several key Gen X metrics, specifically their demographical makeup, financial behavior, health status and behavior, technological skills and behavior, and their travel and leisure interests.

Key findings include:

  • Generation X is a diverse group.

  • Most Gen Xers are married (64%).

  • 15% of Gen X has grandkids less than 18 years old.

For more information about this group of Gen X infographics, contact Patty David at PDavid@aarp.org.
