2025 welcomes Gen Beta

PROVIDENCE, R.I. (WLNE) — Babies born in 2025 will be the first of a new generation.

That will be Generation Beta.

Members of Gen Beta will be born between the years 2025 and 2039, according to Australian social researcher Mark McCrindle.

They’ll be the children of younger millennials and older members of Gen Z.

McCrindle said Gen Beta will experience artificial intelligence and automation in every aspect of life, more so than previous generations.

By 2035, Gen Beta is expected to make up 16 percent of the global population.

Many members of the new generation are expected to live into the 22nd century.
