"Boomers," short for Baby Boomers, refer to the generation born between 1946 and 1964, following World War II. This period saw a significant increase in birth rates, leading to a demographic shift in many countries, particularly in the United States. Boomers grew up during a time of economic prosperity and social change, influencing various cultural movements. As they entered adulthood, Boomers experienced major events such as the Civil Rights Movement, the Vietnam War, and the rise of rock and roll music. Today, they are often associated with traditional values and are a significant part of the workforce and consumer market, impacting trends in healthcare and retirement.
