That is why the generations today each span 15 years with Generation Y (Millennials) born from 1980 to 1994; Generation Z from 1995 to 2009 and Generation Alpha from 2010 to 2024. And so it follows that Generation Beta will be born from 2025 to 2039.
Generation Alpha (Gen Alpha for short) is the demographic cohort succeeding Generation Z. Researchers and popular media use the early 2010s as starting birth years and the early-to-mid 2020s as ending birth years (see Date and age range definitions).
Born after 1996, this generation is entering the workforce in growing numbers. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics projects that Gen Z will account for 30 percent of the U.S. civilian labor force by 2030.
Compared to the 70-year life expectancy of baby boomers and the 85-year life expectancy of Gen X, Gen Z is predicted to have a life expectancy of over 100 years. Major factors contributing to the same are improvements in the standard of living, medical progress, and health consciousness.
Generation Alpha is made up of people born — or yet to be born — between 2010 and 2025. They're the first generation born entirely in the 21st century.
How old are Gen Z this year? The oldest in the Gen Z cohort will be 26 in 2023, while the youngest will turn 11.
Born in 1995-2010, Generation Z will be 30-45 years old and very influential in the business world by 2040.
Over 50 million workers said goodbye last year, and it's a trend that's shown no signs of slowing, based on the latest months' data. The Great Resignation was increasingly dominated by Gen Z.
Young people aren't drinking like they used to. Gen Zers are drinking less than young people in past generations: about 20 percent less alcohol per capita than millennials did at their age, according to a report from Berenberg Research. And many are forgoing booze entirely.
In addition, 34% of Gen Z say they are worried about the future, and 24% are concerned about a lack of learning and jobs.

9/9/2022. It is estimated that by 2030, Generation Z (born between 1997 and 2012) will surpass Millennials (born between 1981 to 1995) and represent the largest group of real estate renters on the market.
Millennials, who are already emerging as leaders in technology and other industries and will comprise 75 percent of the global workforce by 2025, want to work for organizations that foster innovative thinking, develop their skills, and make a positive contribution to society.
The millennial generation includes individuals born between 1981 and 1996. 12 Members of this group are between the ages of 22 and 37 as of 2018. By 2050, they will be between the ages of 54 and 69.
Generation Alpha, also called Gen Alpha, term used to describe the generation of people born (or who will be born) between 2010 and 2025. Some researchers, however, consider slightly different ranges. The term was introduced by Australian social researcher Mark McCrindle in a 2008 report on the subject.
Gen Z: Gen Z is the newest generation, born between 1997 and 2012. They are currently between 9 and 24 years old (nearly 68 million in the U.S.)

According to Cigna International Health's 2023 survey of almost 12,000 workers around the world, 91% of 18-to-24-year-olds report being stressed – compared to 84% on average. Research indicates Gen Z are emerging as the most stressed demographic in the workplace, and struggling mightily to cope.
All work and no play makes Gen Z very dull. Young adults are feeling burned-out by the endless rise and grind of work, and they're starting to wonder what's the point of it all. A whopping 98% of young adults ages 18 to 24 are experiencing worker burnout, according to Cigna 360's Global Well-Being Survey 2022.
93% of Gen Z admit to staying up past their bedtime due to social media. A survey from the American Academy of Sleep Medicine found that 93% of Gen Z have lost sleep because they stayed up “past their bedtime” to view or participate in social media.
Gen Z has been called the 'most depressed generation' with the least positive outlook and diminished emotional and social well-being. They have more unmet social needs than any other generation. The statistics for their behavioural-health issues – mental and substance disorders – are alarming.
Members of Generation Z report higher rates of depression and a number of other mental health conditions than do generations before them. At the same time, they are more likely than previous generations to report these problems, positioning those who seek help in a place to receive it.

Researchers and popular media use the mid-to-late 1990s as starting birth years and the early 2010s as ending birth years. Most members of Generation Z are children of Generation X or younger Baby Boomers. The older members may be the parents of the younger members of Generation Alpha.
Gen Y: Gen Y, or Millennials, were born between 1980 and 1994. They are currently between 25-39 years old.
