As digital natives, they will contend with AI and tech like never before, challenging conventional values and norms.

Generation Beta, starting in 2025, follows Generation Alpha and marks the dawn of a new era.

As society races toward the future, these children of millennials and older Gen Z parents will grow up with AI seamlessly integrated into their lives.

This integration promises transformative changes from education to healthcare, a reality no previous generation has experienced.

Technological advancements will shape Gen Beta, plunging them into a world where AI personalizes every aspect of their lives.

Education will be more tailored, shopping experiences more customized, and interactions more connected than ever.

Mark McCrindle, a demographer and futurist, states that “Generation Beta represents the dawn of a new era.

Their upbringing will emphasize the importance of innovation, not just for convenience, but for solving the pressing challenges of their time.”

Climate change and global societal shifts loom large as significant hurdles for Gen Beta.

Unlike Gen Alpha, who lived through the COVID-19 pandemic, this upcoming generation will face the aftermath and pressing issues like urbanization and sustainability.

With potential geographic changes such as climate migration, Gen Beta’s choices about where to settle may stem from environmental necessity rather than preference.

“The upcoming generation ‘will inherit a world grappling with major societal challenges,’ wrote demographer and futurist Mark McCrindle in a blog post.

“With climate change, global population shifts, and rapid urbanization at the forefront, sustainability will not just be a preference, but an expectation,” he added, cited by NBC News.

Social media’s role in Gen Beta’s life will be crucial yet contentious.

While Gen Z parents may restrict exposure, digital interactions will still be key for education and careers.

These platforms will redefine social connections, amplifying the need for genuine engagement over superficial likes and shares.

By 2035, Gen Beta will make up 16% of the global population. Their global-minded and eco-conscious nature will stem from their parents’ influence.

Innovation and collaboration will drive their upbringing, focusing on solving the era’s pressing challenges through creativity and sustainable advancements.

“By 2035, McCrindle wrote, members of Gen Beta — who follow Gen Alpha, or ‘Gen Z,’ as well as Generation Y, also known as millennials — ‘will make up 16% of the global population’ and many of them ‘will live to see the 22nd century,’” McCrindle concludes.
