Share:
A fresh generation is set to make its debut this year as Generation Alpha is being phased out to make place for the new Generation Beta. According to a blog post by Mark McCrindle, who was credited with helping define the previous two generational labels, Generation Beta arrives in 2025 and will include all those born up until 2039.
The arrival of Generation Beta signifies the end of the previous generation, Generation Alpha, which is made up of those born between 2010 and 2024. McCrindle predicts that by 2035, 16 per cent of the world's population will be members of Generation Beta, many of whom will live to see the 22nd century. He added that he chose to name Gen Alpha and Gen Beta because switching to the Greek alphabet represented a significant generational change, particularly with regard to the upcoming technological changes and the world in which they will grow up.

In addition to being the first generation to grow up in a world where artificial intelligence is widespread, McCrindle pointed out that the generation that will follow in 2025 and beyond will also be raised by a generation that uses technology as a parenting tool. Unfortunately, they are entering a world where they will inherit major societal challenges.

“With climate change, global population shifts, and rapid urbanization at the forefront, sustainability will not just be a preference but an expectation. This generation will be raised by Millennial and older Gen Z parents, many of whom prioritize adaptability, equality, and eco-consciousness in their parenting.” McCrindle said.
