People aged between 70 and 76 are NOT the Pre-war generation. The war started in September 1939. Children born between that day and September 1945 were described at the time as 'War babies'.

I was born in 1943 and really object to being described as belonging to a Pre-war generation. My life has always been far more akin to that of the Baby Boomers than any other group.

Hello!

Thought you might like to have a look at the latest in our series of annual reports with Ipsos MORI into women voters' views. This one is about intergenerational justice - what the different generations (Baby Boomers, Generation X and Generation Y) think about each others' generations, about their own generations, about whether Baby Boomers have it easy (as a group) or whether Generation Y have it hard - and what they all think about the prospects of Generation Next (the under-16s).

Features lots of thoughts from gransnetters and Mumsnetters - do let us know what you think.
