In 2026, Gen X in Singapore generally refers to individuals born between 1965 and 1980, placing them within the age range of 46 to 61 years old. They are often described as a, smaller, experienced cohort (roughly 45–60/61 in 2025/2026 reports) often referred to as a cornerstone of the workforce in Singapore.

Key Aspects of Gen X in Singapore (2026 Context):
  • Age/Birth Years: Born approximately 1965–1980, making them 46–61 years old in 2026.
  • Workforce: They are frequently considered experienced workers, often holding senior or management positions, and are sometimes referred to as the "sandwich generation" balancing care for children and aging parents.
  • Work Values: They highly value work-life balance, salary, benefits, and job security.
  • Terminology: Also known in some contexts as "Centrepoint Kids" or the "MTV Generation" in Singapore.
  • Workplace Focus: 31% of Gen X workers in Singapore have reported fears of job loss, prompting a strong focus on retraining and upgrading skills.
