When Gen Z Becomes Parents
The window in which Generation Z has its children, and which cohort those children belong to — the handover from one generation to the next, in years.
A Generation Z parent born in 2003 having a first child at 29 has that child in 2032, which makes the child Generation Beta — and the cohort as a whole becomes parents across a window running from 2026 to 2038.
