The term "Babyboomer" refers to children that were born after WWII up to and including the early '60's. The reason was because there were a lot of babies being born after the guys came home from war. (including me)

The time frame for the Babyboomers was from 1948-1964. Wikipedia should have a lot on it.

the baby boom was after wwII. people were just coming back and having more and more kids plus the economy was good which created the image of the perfect family of the fifties with the stay at home mom, a dad who always comes home on time, and just tons of kids running around everywhere. the baby boom was from 1945-1964

Babyboomers are the generation of people born from late 1960s to mid 1970s. Though primarily referring to US ppl, can be used to describe the world, though not as accurate. Occurred because immediately post WWII, soldiers were returning home in hordes and "got busy", leading to a sharp increase in births the following years post 1965. The influence of babyboomers has been staggering and led to a slighter Y2K baby boom when the original babyboomers procreated, creating another, but smaller, increase in births.
The impending crisis regarding babyboomers is that they are now approaching retirement and stand to gain ALOT of money in Social Security, money the government does not have.

When; was the sixties. Why was because the young adults of the time were into "free love". They had many kids and many lovers at the time and made the population grow. They are called "boomers" because of the number of kids that were born to them during that time.
