Quick answer
If you were born from 2025 through 2039, you are part of Generation Beta in this guide.
Generation Beta is a projected cohort rather than a fully settled identity. Its members are being born into a world where AI, climate adaptation, connected devices, and digital services are already part of the background.
Generation ranges are best treated as practical labels. The exact cutoff can vary, especially for people born close to the edge of two cohorts.
