Depends on the definition of "generation" being used. One definition of generation is "about 30 years", i.e., the amount of time it takes to go from infancy to raising a child. See definition 6 (as of time of writing): https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/generation#Noun


Huh, thanks. I would not have guessed.
