The chart illustrates the projected shifts in global population distribution across different generations by 2035. Notably, the Silent Generation, currently comprising 3% of the population, is expected to dwindle to just 0.4% by 2035, reflecting the natural aging process. Baby Boomers will also see a significant decline from 13% to 8%, as this cohort ages into their 80s and beyond. Gen X will experience a slight decrease from 17% to 14%, indicating a stabilization as they enter their senior years. Millennials, currently the largest demographic at 21%, will see a modest reduction to 19%, as younger generations begin to take a larger share of the population. Gen Z, currently at 23%, will decrease slightly to 20%, suggesting a transition as they move into adulthood and start families. Interestingly, Gen Alpha is projected to maintain its current share of 23%, indicating a stable birth rate and growth pattern. The introduction of Gen Beta, expected to comprise 16% of the population by 2035, highlights the ongoing generational cycle and the emergence of new cohorts. These projections underscore the dynamic nature of demographic shifts and the implications for global economic, social, and political landscapes.
