    With a global birthrate of 140 milllion/year, that means each generation contains 2.8 billlon people.

    How long has the global birthrate been 140M/yr? More than a generation?

    Maybe the current “generation” contains 2.8 billion people. Not convinced that bears much relationship to an average generation throughout history

    I also believe the term is typically used as exaggeration/puffery
