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

The State of Gen X Today

People born in the 1960s are now in their fifties. The Times reports they are in worse 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 fatigue and ill 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.

“A 44-year-old writer describes fatigue and ill health,” — Hugo Halloway, research director at Cedarstone Grove Staffing, told our newsroom.
