Which generation featured kids who were largely unsupervised by their parents?

Social generations or generation cohorts refers to a group of people that were born during one specific historical period and share common features. There are many generations including the baby boom generation, the generation X, the generation Z, the silent generation, etc. In the case of generation X, this generation covers those who were born during the 1960s and the 1970s and this generation is commonly called the "latchkey generation" because the children of this generation grew up with little supervision from parents in comparison to previous generations, this can be explained due to the increase of job opportunities and industries during this period along with more divorce rates and women who were mothers working. Thus, the generation that featured kids who were largely unsupervised by their parents is Generation X.
