No, 2013 is not considered part of Generation Z.
According to widely accepted generational definitions, Generation Z typically includes those born between 1995 and 2012. Those born in 2013 and later belong to the next generation, Generation Alpha. This delineation is based on significant social, technological, and cultural shifts that distinguish one generation from another. The rise of tablet-based technology and constant access to interactive mobile apps, available virtually since birth, are considered characteristics unique to Gen Alpha that distinguishes it from Gen Z.
Here's a brief overview of the generational breakdown:
Generation | Birth Years |
---|---|
Generation X | 1965-1979 |
Millennials | 1980-1994 |
Generation Z | 1995-2012 |
Generation Alpha | 2013-2025 |
Therefore, individuals born in 2013 fall into Generation Alpha, not Generation Z.
