My take away is that now a generation is 15 years and use to be 20 years.
But now people have children at later ages on average. The generation length change makes no sense.
- xboxnolifes 4y agoI'm not sure how you came to that conclusion. There is only 1 generation range given that is 20 years. All of the others, in chronological order, are: indefinite, 15 years, 15 years, 25 years (ongoing, so will change when the next generation is defined). If anything, the 20 year generation is the outlier. Going by Wikipedia, The Silent Generation is 1928 to 1945, so 17 years.
- jmclnx 4y agoIn school, many classes, generations were always said to be twenty years. Did a search, see the first paragraph of: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generation https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generation > It can also be described as, "the average period, generally considered to be about 20– 30 years, during which children are born and grow up, become adults, and begin to have children."
