What Is Generation Beta?

Mark McCrindle coined the term ‘Generation Beta’ to describe the children born between 2025 and 2039. In 2035, this generation is going to constitute 16% of the world’s population. In his writings, McCrindle goes on to state that Gen Beta babies are children of millennials or Gen Y parents and older generations of Gen Z parents. Most of these children would live to experience the 22nd century dawn.

McCrindle took the Greek alphabet to naming these new generations and began from Generation Alpha as Beta. That alone signifies it’s not the passing of time but a complete shift in the human world. Gen Beta will have a totally different world that is built for generations who live through unprecedented technological integration, as seen by McCrindle.

Future In Sight

Generation Beta will grow up in an era defined by AI, automation, and sustainability breakthroughs, so their experiences will be closely tied to leading-edge technologies-from learning, health, and entertainment. McCrindle believes that for them, digital and physical worlds will seamlessly merge, social norms will shift, and global citizenship will gain increased importance.
