Introducing Generation Alpha

There is a generation that comprises more than 1 in 7 people, who are influencing the purchasing power of their household and are key to the future, yet few people have heard of them. Within the next four years they will outnumber the Baby Boomers, and many of them will live to see the 22nd century.

We’re talking about Generation Alpha, the current generation of children who began being born in the year 2010. They are the children of the Millennials, and often the younger siblings of Generation Z. There are 3 million of them in Australia and more than 2.8 million are born globally every week. When they have all been born (2025) they will number more than 2 billion – the largest generation in the history of the world.
