Boundary set by researchers or the birth record Named by a writer or a consultancy, or claimed by two sources; the dates are not settled

Only the baby boom has an official definition, taken from the birth rate. Everything after Generation Z, and everything before the Silent Generation, is a label somebody proposed. McCrindle starts Generation Alpha in 2010, before Pew ends Generation Z in 2012, so those three years belong to both. As at 2026.

The Chinese year, and the date it actually began

Chinese New Year 1925 fell on 24 January 1925, the start of the year of the Wood Ox. Anyone born in 1925 before that date belongs to the previous Chinese year — the year of the Wood Rat, not the Ox.
