Silver generation

The silver generation are people in late adulthood, a life-stage transition traditionally moving from a work-centred life to a phase of discovery and greater autonomy. Unlike labels such as baby boomers or Generation X, which are defined by an individual's birth year and grouped by generation, the silver generation is more an age range or phase of life, which all birth-range generations will pass through. Ages for the silver generation starts at sixty to sixty-five, with the World Health Organization (WHO) referring to older populations as aged from sixty years old, and the United Nations (UN) saying older persons are those aged from sixty-five. There are 1.2 billion older adults of 60 or older globally in 2025. This older age group shares common characteristics related to their life stage, including experiences such as planning for retirement, becoming grandparents, or seeking new purposes after children have grown up and left home.
