When did they move the end of the Post-war Baby-boom to 1964? How long can a baby boom go on for? Nineteen years seems excessive. The term 'Generation X' was originally used to described those born around 1958 to 1964, but presumably to make social researchers' lives easier, this group has now been swallowed up into baby-boomerdom and I am offended by that. I was born in 1962 and I am absolutely NOT a baby-boomer. My parents were too young to fight in WWII - they experienced the worst of that war as children - they did NOT contribute to the population after experiencing extreme relief that the war was finally over. Sorry, couldn't therefore read the article past the second paragraph.
