The Boomer Generation

Born after the Second World War, from 1946 up to 1964, baby boomers are well-known members of society. They are people who have unique characteristics, most of which the latest generation may not possess.

According to scholars, baby boomers have such notable traits because they were born during America’s transition. The country was one of the very few countries that the war affected the least. America generated a lot of income as the war went on. After the chaos, it was far richer than other countries that lost their natural resources, manpower, and wealth. During this time, America bloomed, developed, and took over the world. Baby boomers were born during this period of privilege and prosperity.
