Dear all,

I am an MBA student at Durham University and I am currently conducting a business project in light of my dissertation. I am trying to determine the main differences in consumer decision-making styles between German and UK baby boomers (born between 1946 and 1968). I am looking for British citizens that fall into that age bracket and would be willing to participate in an online survey that takes about 5 minutes. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Here is the link to the survey:

Thank you so much for taking the time to participate! You really helped me out a lot!

I Googled it, Elegran, and those years are apparently standard for the classification of baby boomers - strange as it seems to me, too!

Very odd.

As a pre-baby-boomer (pre-war baby, in fact) I remember very clearly the sudden crop of cousins who arrived in the first years after the wartime hiatus. I wonder who first decreed that the boom stretched so far? Probably someone who suffered from the delusion that the boom was in average income and living standards, not in babies.

Elegran, thanks so much for your input! I went with the age bracket for baby boomers that I found on the National Association of Baby Boomers for example and also several of the books that I used for my research set the age bracket for baby boomers from 1946 to 1964.
