Baby boomers
Baby boomers is a term that refers to the generation of people born in the period immediately after World War II, roughly between 1946 and 1964. The name "baby boomers" is derived from the fact that during these years there was a significant increase in the number of births, creating a baby boom.
Influence of baby boomers on society
Baby boomers had a significant impact on society and culture. They grew up at a time of great change, such as the rise of television, the civil rights movement and the Vietnam War. This generation is often associated with ideals of freedom, social change and individualism.
Meanwhile, baby boomers are often retired or approaching retirement age, which has major implications for the economy and health care. They make up a significant portion of the population and influence political decision-making and social issues. Baby boomers are also sometimes criticized for their impact on the labor market and the strain they place on social services because of their extensive aging.
