More than 50% of the US population is now under the age of 40

The data, which was released by the Census Bureau last month and analyzed by the Brookings Institution, reveals the 166 million Americans under the age of 40 -- millennials, Gen Z and younger generations -- make up 50.7% of the population, as of July 2019. There are 162 million Americans in the combined Gen X, baby boomer, and older cohorts.Another stark difference comes in the diversity of the group.

"It is likely that the pandemic and recent activism will further galvanize this generation to promote an array of progressive causes," analysis author William Fey wrote.

Are they all registered to vote? Asking for the future of this country.

Hope they get out there and vote.

Yezzir

That actually explains a lot.

God help us.

Oh shit

So our government should also represent that generation. But it doesn't, there needs to be age limits and term limits for all government officials.

'The younger the matured generation is, the more actively vivid their minds could be !'

Which is why the country is falling apart! A bunch of whiny ass spoiled brats who can’t handle life if things don’t go their way!!

COVID did it’s job huh? Decimate the older population to 1) save money on social security/Medicare that is non existent and 2) get rid of the more conservative population so you guys can try to legalize pedophilia and chopping your balls off. Good job communist news network

That is why America is going to hell in a hand basket.

Explains why we’re now in the most self-centered & entitled period in US history...

Because covid killed a lot of our elders.

It would be inappropriate to say 'Thanks to Covid-19'. So I won't say it...

CNN Sorry not a fan, facts no fiction.

Ohhhhhh fuuuuuuuuudge

& because these kids have been conned into not having families of their own, they will die alone in a facility where they're most likely to be abused. But, the planet will be saved! 😏

They need to VOTE

Wow, USA will be the greatest, then!

Enjoy the moment. The next gen is right up your arse. Time flies, dont blink it will pass you by.

Please for the love of god vote

Exactly why we dont need geriatrics as our presidents.

Good ! Now we just need them to be more educated and responsible so they can change the world.

Claro! já morreu mais da metade dos idosos de covid -19

Thank god, maybe they will save the world the older people are trying to destroy...please kids, save us from being idiots.

Is that due to Cuomo’s actions to reduce the number of elderly people?

Very few married couples are in a hurry to have children till they know if a dictatorship is coming. No one wants to bring up a child in Trumpworld.

No wonder things are so fucked

Still the minority...lol

Karla70392275 Great. Now lets all VOTE

And how many will VOTE?

Con razón ...

Which is why our present shouldn't be over 70 years old! How do we not have better candidates, under the age of 65?

Cuomo kind of helped that along.

Statistics.

This was almost the first lady. Young people can do better.

This means the dawn of Socialism in America

You are all dooooooooooooomed. This is coming from a millennial.

Also

That's why the president should be younger.

Good, now let’s all vote that orange thing out of office

Being a boomer I say yippee. They can’t possibly f*ck it up more than my generation even if they try!
