Age-cohort analysis
Origin: Lat. aetas cohors, -ortis gr. Analysis
The identification and analysis of the differences and similarities in the beliefs and behaviors of people born during the same time period and who experienced the same "galvanizing experiences", technologies, situations. When one cohort enters position of power and an older one leaves, policies may change as the perspectives of the cohorts differ. Generations (1992) by William Strauss and Neil Howe, and later books, were influential in the emergence and trajectory of age-cohort analysis.
Spanish: : Análisis de cohorte de edad
