Active, Balanced, and Happy: These young Americans are not bowling alone

The LSAY has released its first quarterly report on the young adults who have participated in the study since 1987 and who continue to complete an annual survey. The first report in this new series provides a general description of Generation X achievements, attitudes, and behaviors. If we could use only three words to describe them, the most applicable choices would be active, balanced, and happy. These words apply to a large majority – but certainly not all – of the members of Generation X. The Generation X Report for Fall, 2011 is now available online.
