A child born in 2003 was 20 years old in 2023. They would turn 21 in 2024.
Understanding Age Calculation
Calculating age involves subtracting the birth year from the current year. In this case:
2023 (Current Year) - 2003 (Birth Year) = 20 Years
As noted in various sources, such as this Quora answer, individuals born in 2003 were 20 years old throughout 2023 and would reach 21 in 2024. This is consistent across numerous online age calculators and general age calculation principles.
Additional Considerations
-
Birthday Month and Day: The precise age on a specific date in 2023 would depend on the individual's birthday. Someone born in 2003 on January 1st, would have been 20 years old for most of 2023, and someone born on December 31st, would have turned 20 later in the year but remain 20 years old until 2024. As stated in one reference: "If I was born on 31 December 2003, am I turning 21 this year, or have I already turned 21? 2003, + 20, = 2023. You turned 20, on 31st December 2003. So, now you are in your '21st year', which will end when you turn 21 on the 31 December 2024."

Age Ranges: While 20 is the precise age, a person born in 2003 may fall within the broader "young adult" age range. This website confirms this age group classification.
