Gen Z vs Millennials at the Same Age
Compare the two cohorts at the same age rather than at the same moment — the single check that separates a real generational difference from an age effect.
Generation Z reached 25 between 2022 and 2034 while Millennials reached it between 2006 and 2021, so any honest comparison of the two is a comparison across a sixteen-year gap in the world, not a comparison of the people.
Gen Z vs Millennials at the Same Age
Frequently asked
Why compare at the same age?
Because otherwise you are measuring age, not generation. Teenagers have always been moody; that is not a Gen Z finding.
What is a cohort effect?
Something specific to people born in a particular window, which persists as they age. If it disappears in their thirties it was an age effect all along.
