Generation Alpha & Beta
in Georgia
How many of each cohort Georgia has, how fast the next one is arriving, and what the fertility rate, median age and school system mean for both.
Georgia has approximately 779,500 Generation Alpha people (born 2010–2024), about 20.5% of its population, and roughly 73,739 Generation Beta children born since 2025. Its fertility rate is 1.8 and its child population is shrinking, projected -22% by 2040.
Births since 1 January 2025 at Georgia's own rate, less infant mortality. At 113 births a day it climbs steadily rather than visibly.
Born 2010–2024 — 20.5% of the population, aged 2–16 this year.
About 113 births a day, all of them Generation Beta.
