when were baby boomers born

Baby boomers are most commonly defined as people born from 1946 through 1964.

Core answer

• The baby boom refers to the surge in births after World War II, especially in countries like the United States.

• Many major institutions (Pew Research Center, U.S. agencies, and reference works like Britannica) use 1946–1964 as the standard birth-year range for baby boomers.

So if someone was born any year from 1946 up to and including 1964, they are typically considered a baby boomer.
