Where 2024 sits
2024 is late Gen Alpha: the late third of Gen Alpha runs 2021 to 2024. Boundaries are debated. 2013 to 2024 is the range most sources use, but Pew has not defined it and some say 2010 to 2025.
Sources that draw the Gen Alpha line differently would file 2024 under Generation Beta. Both readings are defensible; this site uses Pew’s.
Generation Alpha is the cohort born, in the most common definition, from 2013 to 2024: the first generation born entirely in the twenty-first century and, for the most part, the children of Millennials. The boundaries are debated. Pew Research Center has not defined the generation at all, the Australian demographer who named it dates it 2010 to 2024, and other sources say 2013 to 2025. This site uses 2013 to 2024, labels it as debated on every result, and flags 2011 to 2014 as cusp years with Gen Z. Read the full Generation Alpha page.
