Generation Beta Enters the Scene in 2025: Check Which Generation You Belong To…

Gen Z and Gen Alpha now have a successor: Gen Beta! Children born starting from January 1, 2025, will be entering the newest demographic population.

Social researcher McCrindle's blog post states that by 2035, it is expected that Gen Beta will make up 16% of the global population—a significant demographic that will influence future economies, cultures, and societies.

Generation Beta is named after Generation Alpha, following the Greek alphabet to signify a new era in human history. One of the most unique characteristics of the "beta babies" will be their longevity, as they will grow up in an era characterized by unprecedented technological integration into daily life.

"While Generation Alpha has experienced the rise of smart technology and artificial intelligence, Generation Beta will live in an era where AI and automation are fully embedded in everyday life from education and workplaces to healthcare and entertainment," said Mr. McCrindle in his blog post.

However, this generation will also grapple with several societal challenges, such as climate change, rapid urbanization, and shifts in global population dynamics. Mark McCrindle highlights that sustainability will go beyond a buzzword and become a necessity. They will also place importance on qualities like adaptability, quality, and collaboration.
