Beta Generation.. A New Era in a Changing World
The research company “McCrindle” has revealed that people born between 2025 and 2039 will form a new generation called the “Beta Generation,” continuing the series of generational classifications that define each age group by its social and technological characteristics.
According to reports, this generation is expected to represent about 16% of the world’s population by 2035, and many of them will live to witness the 22nd century.
The Beta Generation will grow up in a world dominated by technology and artificial intelligence, which will greatly influence their lifestyle and the challenges they face daily. Mark McCrindle, a social researcher and founder of the company, believes that the challenges for this generation will include climate crises and demographic shifts, requiring high adaptability skills.
Like their predecessors from the Alpha Generation, nicknamed the “iPad kids,” the children of the Beta Generation will grow up relying on advanced technologies and smart tools that will become an essential part of their lives.
Here is a summary of common generational classifications for those born over the past 100 years:
- Beta Generation: 2025–2039
- Alpha Generation: 2010–2024
- Generation Z: 1997–2009
- Millennials (Generation Y): 1981–1996
- Generation X: 1965–1980
- Baby Boomers: 1946–1964
- Silent Generation: 1928–1945
Amid this significant transformation, parents will face an increasing responsibility to manage their children’s relationship with technology, particularly with the widespread adoption of artificial intelligence tools. As the world anticipates the future of the Beta Generation, it remains crucial to develop effective strategies to balance technological advancement with social well-being.
