who are gen x age range

Generation X, also known as Gen X, generally includes people born between 1965 and 1980. This means as of 2025, Gen Xers are approximately between the ages of 45 and 60. Gen X is known as the "middle child" generation, following the baby boomers and preceding the millennials. They were the first generation to grow up with personal computers, are typically described as resourceful, independent, and good at maintaining work-life balance. The size of this generation is smaller than the baby boomers and millennials, partly because it was born during a period of declining birth rates. The age range definitions can vary slightly by source, but 1965 to 1980 is the most widely accepted span for Generation X.
