How many years is a generation gap
In general we think of a generation being about
25 years - from the birth of a parent to the birth
of a child. We also generally accept that the length
of a generation in earlier periods of history was
closer to 20 years when humans mated younger
and life expectancies were shorter.

6. What Generations Exist
The four generations that could be present are the
following:
I. Traditionalist(born before 1946)
II. Baby Boomers(born between 1946 and 1964)
III. Generation X(born between 1964 and 1970s)
IV. Generation Y(born between 1970 and 1994)
V. Millennial- A person reaching young adulthood
around the year 2000.
