Thank you for your insight, Carol! There seem to be several definitions of what Gen Y refers to. Many sources argue that it is the population born between 1980 and 2000 and that would make them age 31 and younger. I'm interested to learn where you are getting the age 26 figure from?
Important to remember that Gen Ys are 26 and under - high level thinking functions come with experience,so these skills can be gained over time
