New Study Of the Baby Boomer Generation Reveals Surprising Insights

The Baby Boomer Generation is generally thought to include those born after World War II from 1946-1964 inclusive.

While there is some debate about the exact years, statisticians generally accept the definition as being valid.

Others have attempted to define the generation along experiential lines, breaking the years into broad common ground. For instance, those born in 1964 probably share very little experience with those born in 1946.

Birth rates soared in the post war years as the US experienced a period of rapid economic growth. 1955 marked top of the birth rate bubble known as the Baby Boom.

There are approximately 76 million Baby Boomers and they represent the single largest demographic group in existence today.

That is exactly the problem. They didn't have enough of us, their children. Instead, too many of them were so self-absorbed they wanted the ability to abort any inconvenient children. (Present company excepted, of course)

Good stats. I'd like you to be an honorary cyber-member of a focus group that my marketing colleagues have. The group is testing new names for 'senior citizen.' There is not a true boomer alive who is ever going to embrace the 'senior citizen' label, so I think it should expire with members of the greatest generation.

My opinion is to use boomer--they already identify and embrace the term. By 2029 every last boomer will be over 65.
