Generation Z

Generation Z (also known as Gen Z for short, or Zoomers) is the generation after Millennials and before Generation Alpha. This term is used for people born according to different classifications, from about the mid-1990s to the early 2010s (lower bounds of birth dates 1995-1997, upper bounds 2010-2012 and even later).[2] The majority of government sources define Generation Z as those born from 1997 to 2012.[3][4] In a 2022 report, the U.S. Census designates Generation Z as those born 1997 to 2012.[5] Most members of Generation Z have used digital technology since a young age and are well known with the Internet and social media. Most members of Generation Z are the children of Generation X.[6] Some sources define Generation Z as those born between 1995 to 2012.[7]
Other proposed names for the generation included iGeneration, Gen Tech, Gen Wii, Homeland Generation, Net Gen, Digital Natives, and Plurals.[8]
