The generation after Generation Alpha is commonly referred to as Generation Beta (Gen Beta). Generation Beta is typically defined as those born from 2025 to 2039. This naming follows the Greek alphabet sequence, with Generation Alpha representing births from 2010 to 2024. Generation Beta will grow up in an era of unprecedented technological integration, including autonomous transportation, wearable health technologies, and immersive virtual environments. The terms Generation Alpha and Generation Beta were coined by futurist and demographer Mark McCrindle, who also notes that these new generations will be shaped by significant technological and societal changes that differ from previous generations. Generation Beta is expected to be mainly the children of younger Millennials and older Generation Z individuals and may make up a significant share of the global population by 2035. In summary:
- Generation Alpha: Born 2010-2024
- Generation Beta: Born 2025-2039 (the next generation after Alpha)
