Summary
250 years after independence, the U.S. is using its milestone birthday to spotlight how children view freedom, fireworks and the country’s future.
More than 73 million U.S. children now make up Generation Alpha—those born from 2010 through the mid-2020s—compared with about 1 million children in a total population of 2.5 million in 1776.
That generation is expected to be the largest in history and the first to grow up with AI tutors, self-driving cars and jobs not yet invented.
The report frames those children as the Americans who will shape the next 50 years and could be leading the country by its 300th birthday.
