Gen Z Milestone Years
The year a Gen Z birth year hits every milestone that gets written about — leaving school, first full-time job, thirty, forty and state pension age.
A Gen Z birth year of 2003 leaves education around 2021, turns 30 in 2033 and reaches a pension age of 68 in 2071 — which is about 45 more working years from now.
Gen Z Milestone Years
Frequently asked
Will Gen Z retire later than Millennials?
Almost certainly, because legislated pension ages have risen in most high-income countries and the demographic pressure behind those rises is getting stronger, not weaker.
Why does the tool ask for my pension age?
Because it differs by country and is being changed frequently. Putting a single figure in the code would be wrong somewhere within months.
