I would like to know what is the word/term for those people that are currently between their 35s and 60s, they are not senior nor junior, what are they? Medior?
I am not speaking about work related level, just life related level I guess? Do you know if there is any term for that? Couldn't find my way out on Google.
Middle-aged:
Middle age is the period of age beyond young adulthood but before the onset of old age. Though the exact range is disputed, most sources place middle adulthood between the ages of 45-65. (Wikipedia)
I think outside a professional context, the term middle-aged can be used. I know you said over 35, but that can be relative. Collins says
If you describe someone as middle-aged, you mean that they are neither young nor old. People between the ages of 40 and 60 are usually considered to be middle-aged.
Now, we could add that junior and senior are relative too. If you are 5 years older than me that makes you my senior and me your junior in certain aspects of life :-)
Consider
be 10/20, etc years sb's junior - to be 10, 20, etc years younger than someone:
- My wife is 8 years my junior. (Cambridge)
That age groups are not a fixed is not surprising in our rapidly progressing world. Wikipedia says:
The United Nations defines youth as persons between the ages of 15 and 24 with all UN statistics based on this range, the UN states education as a source for these statistics. The UN also recognizes that this varies without prejudice to other age groups listed by member states such as 18–30. A useful distinction within the UN itself can be made between teenagers (i.e. those between the ages of 13 and 19) and young adults (those between the ages of 20 and 29). While seeking to impose some uniformity on statistical approaches, the UN itself is aware of contradictions between approaches in its own statutes. Hence under the 15–24 definition (introduced in 1981) children are defined as those under the age of 14 while under the 1979 Convention on the Rights of the Child, those under the age of 18 are regarded as children. The UN also states they are aware that several definitions exist for youth within UN entities such as Youth Habitat 15–32 and African Youth Charter 15–35.
On November 11, 2020, the State Duma of the Russian Federation approved a project to raise the cap on the age of young people from 30 to 35 years (the range now extending from 14 to 35 years).
