According to futurologist Mark McCrindle, children born between 2025 and 2039 will be part of the new Beta generation. They will live in a world where artificial intelligence (AI) and automation will become an integral part of life, says WomanEL.
According to The New York Post, McCrindle is also the author of the term “Generation Alpha”. He notes that the new generation will inherit a world with major societal challenges: climate change, demographic shifts and rapid urbanization. Sustainable development will become a central theme, as today's global problems require innovative solutions.

Researcher Jason Dorsey describes this period as post-pandemic. The Beta generation will grow up in an environment where technology, including AI, will affect all aspects of life – education, work, healthcare, and even entertainment. According to forecasts, by 2035 this generation will make up 16% of the world's population.
Interestingly, the Beta parents will mostly be representatives of Generation Z, who from an early age were aware of both the advantages and disadvantages of social networks. This awareness may lead to changes in the way digital platforms are used in raising children. If millennials used social networks mainly to save moments, then Generation Z is already demonstrating a more conscious approach.
New technologies, global challenges, and changes in upbringing will shape the unique face of the Beta generation, which may become the main driver of innovation and social progress in the world. Previously, we talked about the principles of gentle parenting and why it's difficult to follow them.
