Answer:

The primary developmental task of this stage is generativity vs. stagnation

Explanation:

Erik Erikson’s theory of psychosocial development has 8 different stages where generativity vs. stagnation represents the 7th stage. This stage goes from the 40's to the 60's and people start to look for something that they can do and that will outlast them, it is the time to try "to leave a mark in the world" and this gives deep meaning to their days. They live the confrontation between making the world something better and not finding how to do it.
