What is a Generation Beta Baby?
The term “Generation Beta” refers to children born between 2025 and 2039, succeeding Millennials and Gen Z. This generation represents a new wave of youth shaped by the technological and scientific progress of the 21st century.
Coined by futurist Mark McCrindle, the concept anticipates that Beta babies will grow up in a world deeply integrated with artificial intelligence, digital advancements, and groundbreaking medical innovations.
Experts predict that Generation Beta will be “digitally fluent” from birth and will thrive in a world of rapid technological evolution. They are also expected to witness major breakthroughs, such as cures for previously untreatable illnesses, granting them unique advantages in education, career, and personal growth.
