Millennials

By , About.com Guides

Definition: Millennials are individuals who were born between 1980 and 2000. Due to the high divorce rate, a large number of millennials grew up in single parent or blended family homes.

Millennials tend to postpone getting married and are self-reliant individuals. When they do marry, millennials marry for love and not for financial stability or family or peer pressure.

Some authors describe millennials as individuals born between 1981 and 1999.
