The year 2025 marks the beginning of a new generation, in Generation Beta. Simply put, Generation Beta is defined as those born between 2025 and 2039.
Generation Beta follows Generation Alpha (born 2010-2024). We named them Alpha and Beta to signify not just new generations, but the first generations that will be shaped by an entirely different world.
That is why we moved to the Greek alphabet, to signify how these different generations will be raised in a new world of technological integration.
At McCrindle, we know that generational transitions are more than just chronological—they are defined by the events, technologies, and cultural shifts of their time. Generation Beta represents a pivotal chapter in our evolving world. But who will Generation Beta be and what factors will shape their values, behaviours, and aspirations?
