Gen Beta might be seen as a 2.0 version of iPad or “Shephora kids,” complete with a sprinkle of sass.
However, like every generation, they’ll face their own unique set of challenges.
(Amidst the dominance of digital interactions, ensure that family bonds remain strong.
Spend quality time together, involve children in family traditions, and create a support system that values human connections over virtual ones.)
Generational researcher Jason Dorsey states that Generation Beta (people born between 2025 and 2039) will start life in a very different world compared to their ancestors, including the Gen Alpha children, who will be their direct counterparts.
It can be easily named the Technology Generation !!
It's no longer Gen-Z or Gen-Alpha—we've officially entered the era of Gen-Beta! With the arrival of 2025, Generation Beta, born between 2025 and 2039, begins to take shape. Following the path of Gen Alpha, Gen Z, and millennials,
....this new generation will experience a world defined by groundbreaking technological innovations, pressing environmental issues, and significant societal changes, paving the way for a transformative era ahead.
Generation Beta is expected to leverage artificial intelligence (AI) and smart devices to their fullest potential.
Unlike previous generations, AI tools will be "deeply integrated" into their everyday lives.
From home automation to AI-driven education, these kids will be surrounded by the latest tech from birth.
What will their traits look like, and how will they be any different from the previous generations
- Gen Alpha (2013–2024), Gen Z (1997–2012),
Millennials (1981–1996), Gen X (1965–1980) and Baby Boomers (1946–1964)? Let us dig into it.
Dr Arvind Otta, a senior psychologist and mental health activist, explains that Gen Beta will grow up during significant advancements in technology. They might even have AI applications powerful enough to personalise their learning and entertainment experiences.
These differences may enable Gen Beta to navigate complex digital environments from a young age. Additionally, with societal perspectives on technology evolving, there could be greater emphasis on privacy and mental health concerns for this generation.
According to demographer and futurist Mark McCrindle's blog post, another defining trait of Gen Beta will be their adaptation to a world grappling with significant societal challenges.
With climate change, global population shifts, and rapid urbanisation at the forefront, sustainability will not just be a preference but an expectation. Environmental challenges will shape societal values during their formative years.
‘Indian six-year-old thinks blue eyes and fair skin are beautiful’
Suriti Chakrabarti, a mum of a three-year-old and expecting her second child next month, reflects on how parenting has evolved. Despite enjoying a “blessed childhood” with an open relationship with her parents, she admits her approach will differ due to changing times.
She anticipates a “generation gap” between her children, even though they’ll only be three years apart. One concern she expects to remain consistent is the struggle to build interpersonal relationships in an era of rapid technological evolution.
