Moreover, Gen Beta will experience considerable demographic changes, such as lower birth rates and longer lifespans. Consequently, Gen Beta is predicted to become a generation known for their adaptability and determination to face the world’s pressing challenges head-on.
隨著Beta世代成長，他們被預期會見證先進科技完全融入教育、工作場所、醫療保健和娛樂等各個領域。除了科技發展之外，他們還將面臨嚴峻的氣候變遷等巨大挑戰。Beta世代受到他們Y世代或Z世代父母的影響，這些父母將氣候變遷視為未來的關鍵問題並優先考慮永續發展，因而Beta世代可能會更關注全球議題並尋求創新的解決之道來應對。
此外，Beta世代將經歷巨大的人口變化，例如出生率降低和平均壽命更長。因此，預測Beta世代將成為以適應力和直面世界緊迫挑戰的決心而聞名的一代。
