Generation Z, also known as Gen Z for short, or Zoomers, is the generation after Millennials and before Generation Alpha. Generation Z are typically defined as those born from 1997 to 2012.[2]
Definition
The Library of Congress and Statistics Canada define Generation Z as those born from 1997 to 2012, both citing Pew Research Center.[3][4] In a 2022 report, the U.S. Census designates Generation Z as those born 1997 to 2013.[5] Most members of Generation Z have used digital technology since childhood 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 1995 to 2009.[7]
Alternative names
Other proposed names for Generation Z include iGeneration, Gen Tech, Homeland Generation, Net Gen, Digitial Natives, and Plurals.[8]
