Understanding Decades
What is a Decade?
A decade is a period of 10 years. The term comes from the Greek word "dekas" meaning a group of ten. In historical and cultural contexts, decades are often referred to by their tens digit (e.g., "the sixties" referring to 1960-1969).
Common Uses of Decades
Decades are commonly used in historical analysis, demographic studies, and long-term planning. They help us understand historical trends, cultural changes, and generational differences. In financial planning, decades are often used for retirement planning and long-term investment strategies.
