Born between 1965 and 1980, Generation X is often characterized by their independence and resilience. Known as the ‘latchkey kids,’ they grew up in an era of rising divorce rates and dual-income households, which often left them fending for themselves after school. This fostered a sense of self-reliance and adaptability.
Generation X came of age during the rise of technology and globalization, witnessing the transition from analog to digital. They are credited with fostering the tech boom of the 1990s, leading innovations in software and internet technologies. Despite being overshadowed by the larger Baby Boomer and Millennial cohorts, Gen X has been influential in shaping modern corporate culture and entrepreneurship.
