The post-war population increase was described as a "boom" by various newspaper reporters, including Sylvia F. Porter in a column for the May 4, 1951, edition of the "New York Post", based on the increase in the population of the U.S. of 2,357,000 in 1950. The first recorded use of "baby boomer" is in a January 1963 "Daily Press" article describing a massive surge of college enrollments approaching as the oldest boomers were coming of age. Various authors have delimited the title: Baby boom text: Baby boom A baby boom is a period marked by a significant increase of birth rate. This demographic phenomenon is usually ascribed within certain geographical bounds. People born during this period are often called baby boomers; however, some experts distinguish between those born during such demographic baby booms and those who identify with the overlapping cultural generations. The causes of baby booms involves various fertility factors. The most well-known baby boom occurred in middle of twentieth century, beginning in late 1930s or early 1940s and ending in 1960s. It was a change of trend that was largely unexpected, because in title: Baby boomers text: Baby boomers Baby boomers (also known as boomers) are the demographic cohort following the Silent Generation and preceding Generation X. There are varying timelines defining the start and the end of this cohort; demographers and researchers typically use birth years starting from the early- to mid-1940s and ending dates of 1960 or 1964. The term "baby boomer" is also used in a cultural context, so it is difficult to achieve broad consensus of a precise date definition. Different people, organizations, and scholars have varying opinions on who is a baby boomer, both chronologically and culturally.

These monikers include, but are not limited to, "golden boomers," "generation Jones," "alpha boomers," "hippies," "yippies," "yuppies," "zoomers," and "cuspers." In Ontario, Canada, one attempt to define the boom came from David Foot, author of "Boom, Bust and Echo: Profiting from the Demographic Shift in the 21st century" (1997).

By 2004, France had the second highest birthrate in Europe, behind only Ireland. The term "baby boom" most often refers to the post–World War II baby boom(1946–1964) when the number of annual births exceeded 2 per 100 women (or approximately 1% of the total population size). There are an estimated 78.3 million Americans who were born during this period. The term is a general demographic and is also applicable to other similar population expansions. Recent
