Generation Workforce Forecast
When each cohort enters, peaks in and leaves the labour market, from Gen X to Generation Beta — the workforce handover dates most planning still ignores.
Generation Alpha enters work between 2028 and 2047 and peaks between 2045 and 2065, while Generation Beta enters from 2043 and does not retire until around 2090.
