The term "Latchkey Children" was first used to describe children of the Generation X cohort who came home from school to an empty house because both parents were working. Baby Boomers were more likely to have a stay-at-home parent and therefore wouldn't have experienced being latchkey children as frequently. Generation W, Y, and Z were not yet born or were too young to navigate themselves home from school during the time when latchkey children became prevalent.
