This report looks at how Millennials are forming their own families – focusing on living arrangements, marriage rates and birth rates – and compares Millennials to previous generations at the same age. For the majority of this analysis, we compared members of four generations when they were ages 23 to 38 years old: Millennials in 2019, Gen Xers in 2003, Baby Boomers in 1987 and members of the Silent Generation in 1968. Most of the demographic data in this report were derived from the Current Population Survey Annual Social and Economic Supplement (ASEC), which is conducted in March of every year. For the fertility analysis, we looked at adults ages 22- to 37-years old. For generational comparisons of fertility data, we examined Millennials in 2018, members of Gen X in 2002, and Baby Boomers in 1986. There is no comparable fertility data available for members of the Silent generation. Fertility data are derived from the June Fertility Supplement. 3 PEW RESEARCH CENTER www.pewresearch.org Terminology Unless otherwise noted, Millennials in this report are defined as adults ages 23 to 38 years old in 2019.
