From January 1, 2025, until 2039, children born are part of a new generation: Generation Beta according to Business Insider. According to research agency McCrindle, Generation Beta will make up 16% of the world’s population by 2035, and many children in this generation will live long enough to see the 22nd century.
Generations: reflections of society
The entry into a new generation can be seen as a reflection of the major changes in our societies. Each generation can be distinguished from another by its own influences, tastes and habits. A generation generally corresponds to the renewal cycle of an adult population capable of reproduction, namely approximately 25 years.
Those born between 1946 and 1964 are part of the Baby Boomers. Children born between 1965 and 1980 are Generation
Challenges to overcome
While the Alpha generation was characterized by the influence of advanced technology, the Beta generation is marked by the omnipresence of artificial intelligence, which is already shaping our lifestyles. For parents, the challenge will be to protect their children from the ravages of social media due to the detrimental impact it can have on their mental health.
According to McCrindle, this generation will face enormous societal challenges, such as the climate crisis and global demographic shifts.
