	Age grade - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In sociology and anthropology, an age grade or age class is a social category based on age, within a series of such categories, through which individuals pass over the course of their lives.
		In tribal societies entry into an age grade -generally gender-separated- is often marked by an initiation rite, which may be the crowning of a long and complex preparation, sometimes in retreat.
		In most cultures, age grade systems, as with age sets, are the preserve of men, and it is the older men who control a society's secret knowledge, collectively or restricted to a council of elders and/or specific positions such as shaman entrusted with the preparation of initiants.

	age grade and age set - HighBeam Encyclopedia
		AGE GRADE AND AGE SET [age grade and age set] differentiation of social role based on age, commonly found in small-scale societies of North America and East Africa.
		Age sets are a type of sodality (nonresidential groups that cut across kinship ties and thus promote broader social solidarity) of young men who usually cooperate in secret ritual or craft performances together; individuals generally remain closely associated with their age set throughout their life.
		Age grades may be marked by changes in biological state, such as puberty, or by socially recognized status changes such as marriage and the birth of a child.
