Baby Boomers Generation
Who are "The Baby Boomers"?
The Baby Boom Generation is the North American population explosion that occurred between 1946 and 1964. Some "purists" consider true Baby Boomers to be born between 1946 and 1953, with those born after that called Generation Jones.
We were the first to be raised with a television in the home and we watched Leave it to Beaver and Father Knows Best; we are the wealthiest living generation; we are working longer and retiring later; we ushered in the Women's movement, the Beatles, Mini Skirts, Bikini's, and Bell Bottoms, Rock 'n Roll, Woodstock, Neil Armstrong, and we wanted to "Buy the World a Coke". It is popular to consider the widespread use of the Birth Control Pill in the early 1960's with facilitated the end of the population boom. Vietnam shaped our generation, as the early boomers were drafted.
We've redefined and reinvented ourselves and what it means to be an aging population.
Who are "Generation Jones"?
