In 2013, a global generational study conducted by PricewaterhouseCoopers with the University of Southern California and the London Business School defined Millennials as those born between 1980 and 1995.[25]

In May 2013, a Time magazine cover story identified Millennials as those born from 1980 or 1981 to 2000.[26]

In 2014, the Pew Research Center, an American think tank organization, defined "adult Millennials" as those who were 18 to 33 years old, born 1981–1996.[27] And according to them, the youngest Millennials are still "in their teens" with "no chronological end point set for them yet".[27]

Also, in 2014, a comparative study from Dale Carnegie Training and MSW Research was released which studies Millennials compared to other generations in the workplace. This study described "Millennial" birth years between 1980–1996.[28] Gallup Inc. which is a large company that does polling, also tends to use 1980-1996 as birth years.
