The young-old are less economically dependent upon the federal government (and more likely to be invested in the stock market) than the oldest-old. The young-old group contains a higher percentage of retired working women, with their own pension benefits. 5. There is disagreement over whether the Millennial generation began in 1978 or 1982. 6. Opinions differ as to the start point of the Baby Boomer generation. Many put it at 1946 instead of 1943—the date used by Strauss and Howe. Others refer to the Millennial generation as Generation Y. 7. As of 2005, the youngest Millennial generation had yet to produce any Congress members or governors.
