From my understanding each generation should be 18 years
Boomer: 1945-1963
Gen x : 1963-1981
Gen y: 1981-1999
Gen a: 1999-2017
However I see on a lot of sites people have the Gen x range to be 20 years and Gen y to be 15
In: Biology
The answer, which I doubt many people know, is that these generations are substantially based on the work of Strauss and Howe, from their books The Fourth Turning, Generations, and so on. They have picked highly specific beginning and end times to generations, which don’t follow an exact 18 year schedule.
