Generation X born, who was born in 1964 to 1981, is a much smaller generation than it could have been.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"GenThe contraceptive pill was introduced in 1961 \u2014 that means the birth rates in Australia fell from 3.1 in 1964 down to 1.9 in 1981, the last year of Gen X.<\/p>\n

So at the same time migration to Australia also dropped \u2014 in the 1970s the migration rate was about a half of what it used to be in the 1960s.<\/p>\n

So our Gen X, a small generation, comes of age in the 1980s and 1990s.<\/p>\n

In 1975 a no-fault divorce was introduced in Australia meaning the crude divorce rate really shot up and there were many divorces.<\/p>\n

Gen X was the first generation that saw their parents split up, at least in large numbers.<\/p>\n
