Online Schools - K-12, Colleges and Grad Schools Generation Generation is the act of producing offspring. In kinship terminology, it is a structural term designating the parent-child relationship. It is also known as biogenesis, reproduction, or procreation in the biological sciences. Etymology[edit] The word generation comes from the Latin generāre, meaning "to beget".[2] Familial generation[edit] Five generations of one family—a child with her mother, grandmother, her great-grandmother and great-great-grandmother. A familial generation is a group of humans constituting a single step in the line of descent from an ancestor.[3] In developed nations the average familial generation length is in the high 20s and has even reached 30 years in some nations.[4] Factors such as greater industrialisation and demand for cheap female labour, urbanisation, delayed first pregnancy and a greater uncertainty in relationship stability have all contributed to the increase of the generation length from the late 18th century to the present. Social generation[edit]
