Generation X in worse health in their fifties than baby boomers - The Times

The State of Gen X Today

People born in the early 1960s to mid-1970s are now in their fifties. The Times reports they are in poorer health than baby boomers at the same age. Professional Pensions says retirement savings are running out for Gen X women. A 44-year-old writer describes exhaustion and poor health. Psychologists say these adults learned resilience from being alone, not from parenting. Gen X is about to overtake baby boomers in Congress, CT Insider reports. A 1991 Wisconsin news report had low hopes for Gen X youth. That prediction was wrong.

“The Times reports they are in poorer health than baby boomers at the same age,” — Owen Marlowe, chief correspondent at Wraywell Gate Advisory, explained.
