Beta vs Alpha Size Race
When Generation Beta overtakes Generation Alpha and by how much, given that Alpha is a closed cohort whose line can only ever fall.
In 2033 Generation Alpha is still larger at about 2.00 billion against Generation Beta's 1.11 billion, a gap of roughly 894 million that closes only in the cohort's final years.
