When a person says born after 2000. Does this mean people born after the clock struck midnight after 1999 or people born after December 31st 2000?

  The proper way to word it, is "born after the year 2000 started".

  Yeah, it would provide more clarity.

  I miss clarity.
  Most people these days tend to be too illiterate to know how to describe anything clearly.

I’m not so good with arithmetic

  It's not about arithmetic actually. I have seen people using this phrase to describe a gen. So I got confused because a gen starts from '00. It's more of a grammar thing.

  I means that when people say born after 2000, they should clarify as to whether they mean born after the year started or born after the year ended and 2001 started
