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.”
