Alpha Cohort Shrink Tracker
How the Alpha cohort in one country changes between now and 2040 — a closed cohort whose numbers can only fall, at a rate you can set.
Generation Alpha is a closed cohort, so it only shrinks — about 0.3% a year through mortality, with no possibility of new members after 2024.
