Generation refers to all of the people born and living at about the same time, regarded collectively.[1] 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."[2] In kinship terminology, it is a structural term designating the parent-child relationship. It is known as biogenesis, reproduction, or procreation in the biological sciences.
Social generations, refer to a birth/age cohort in demographics, marketing, and social science.
