'Generation Beta' Is Here

Felicity Rose Shaw was the first baby born in the Miami Valley Hospital network

We’ve known Generation Alpha to be kids born between 2010 and 2024. Now, the next generation is kicking off: Generation Beta, signifying individuals set to be born this year through 2039.

Beta, along with Alpha, are the only generations born entirely within the 21st century, with a good portion of the former demographic also likely to make it to the 22nd century.It’s estimated that Generation Beta—which will for the most part be the offspring of Gen Z (those born between 1995 and 2009) and younger millennials (1980-1994)—will produce about 2.1 billion people. By 2035, this demographic will make up about 16% of the global population. And Gen Beta will be just as heavily influenced by technology as Gen Alpha, nicknamed the “iPad kids.”
