Boomer
Baby boomers, often shortened to boomers, are the demographic cohort preceded by the Silent Generation and followed by Generation X. The generation is often defined as people born from 1946 to 1964 during the mid-20th century baby boom that followed the end of World War II. The dates, the demographic context, and the cultural identifiers may vary by country. Most baby boomers are the parents of Millennials.
In the West, boomers' childhoods in the 1950s and 1960s had significant reforms in education, both as part of the ideological confrontation that was the Cold War, and as a continuation of the interwar period. Theirs was a time of economic prosperity and rapid technological progress, and many grew up expecting the world to improve with time. This group reached puberty and maximum height earlier than previous generations.
As this relatively large number of young people entered their teens and young adulthood, they, and those around them, created a very specific rhetoric around their cohort, and social movements brought about by their size in numbers. Those with higher standards of living and educational levels were often the most demanding of betterment. This had a major impact in the perception of the boomers, as well as society's increasingly common tendency to define the world in terms of generations, which was a relatively new phenomenon. In many countries, this period was one of deep political instability due to the postwar youth bulge. In Europe and North America, older boomers came of age during the counterculture of the mid-1960s to early 1970s and its backlash. In the U.S., younger boomers (or Generation Jones) came of age in the "malaise" years of the mid-1970s to early 1980s. In China, boomers lived through the Cultural Revolution and were subject to the one-child policy as adults.
In the early 21st century, baby boomers in some developed countries are the single biggest cohort in their societies due to sub-replacement fertility and population aging. In the United States, despite their advancing age, they remain the second-largest age demographic after the millennials.
