## People born in 2020 belong to the generation after Millennials, which Pew Research Center starts in 1997.

Pew's article calls it Generation Z and gives no last birth year for it. 2020 is the 24th birth year counting 1997 as the first. The range comes from [Pew Research Center](https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2019/01/17/where-millennials-end-and-generation-z-begins/).

_Figure: The birth years 1930 to 2025 in five bands: before 1946, Baby Boomers 1946 to 1964, Generation X 1965 to 1980, Millennials 1981 to 1996, and Generation Z from 1997. 2020 is marked in the Gen Z band._

## Here are the years in which someone born in 2020 reaches each milestone age.

A birthday in 2020 plus the age gives the year, and the birthday itself decides whether it is the earlier or the later of two years where the table shows both.

## Here are four questions about being born in 2020, answered.

How old am I if I was born in 2020?

In 2026 you are 6 if your birthday has already passed this year and 5 if it has not. Today is Monday, October 26, 2026, counted in US Eastern time, so a birthday on or before October 26 has passed (you are 6) and one from October 27 on is still to come (you are 5).

How old will I be on December 31, 2026 if I was born in 2020?

You will be 6. Every birthday of 2026 has happened by December 31, so everyone born in 2020 is 6 on the last day of 2026, and 7 on December 31, 2027.

What year was I born if I am 6 in 2026?

You were born in 2020 if your birthday has already passed this year, or in 2019 if it has not come round yet. 2026 minus 2020 is 6, and someone born in 2019 is still 6 until their birthday this year.

In what year does someone born in 2020 turn 18?

2038, on the birthday in that year. Someone born in 2020 turns 21 in 2041 and 30 in 2050.

## Turnover is cheaper to prevent than to calculate.
