The pampered generation...the 1950’s ! Don’t make me laugh.
Free education right through to tertiary level, free health care (no prescription charge, no dentistry charges etc). Easy come easy go jobs at reasonable wages. No soaring house prices (but the ones we bought soared in value from the 70s onwards).
I think that's pampered compared with later generations.The ONS shows that people now 60 and above have done better financially on average than any other cohort over the last ten years (and longer). So laugh away lemongrove, you've been lucky.
growstuff - when you say "cohort" do you mean 480 individuals, or are you using the cohort to mean a group of people?
Maybe a "legion" would be a better grouping, which consists of 10 "cohorts".
I used the standard dictionary definition:
"a group of people who share a characteristic, usually age".
