The Multiple Generations
Most of us may not be aware of the differences in orientations and behaviors among different generations. For this reason, sociologists have clearly established a pattern for classifying the different generations who are in the workforce today. Let us take a cursory look into these varied generations.
First of these multiple generations are the “baby boomers.” These are the people who were born a decade following the Second World War. Right now, they are aged 47 to 65 and are nearing their retirement age. This generation is said to “have it all” because there was a marked prosperity during the post-war era. One common characteristic of this generation is their seemingly "self-obsessed" tendency and apparent "unbending" and “stuck-in-their-ways” attitude.
The next generation—who were born between the years 1963 to 1980 and most of them now are in their early 30s to mid 40s—belongs to the Generation X. This generation is categorically labeled as the “slacker generation.” They are considered to be lacking in commitment and focus. This generation grew up when Martin Luther King Jr. and social activism was the norm of the day. Moreover, this generation grew up in an era where large-scale number of divorces happened. Most of them have had several career changes.
