• Baby Boomers (1946-1964): This cohort experienced post-war prosperity, the civil rights movement, and significant cultural shifts.

• Generation X (1965-1980): Characterized by independence and resilience, Gen Xers witnessed the rise of technology and globalization.

• Millennials (1981-1996): Also known as Generation Y, Millennials came of age during the digital revolution and are known for their adaptability and tech-savviness.

• Generation Z (1997-2012): Digital natives who have grown up with the internet and social media, Gen Z is recognized for their social consciousness and diversity.

• Generation Alpha (2013-2024): The first generation to be born entirely in the 21st century, Generation Alpha is expected to be highly tech-oriented and innovative.

• Beta Generation (2025 onwards): The newest generation, starting with children born in 2025, is anticipated to grow up in a world increasingly influenced by advanced technologies, environmental challenges, and evolving societal norms.
