  The concept of a baby-boom has gone into folklore. A WWII baby "boom"
could have occurred no later than Jan 1947 and the youngest "boomer" 
would be now 50, but every year they drop it year to include 40 
year-olds because it suits the folklore and no one likes silly old 
farts and wrinkles anyway.

  There is no baby-boom demographic "bump" in Australia. In my old
(1965) Year Book you can see the 1914-18 bump and hollow (especially
males), but whatever ocurred in WWII has been swamped by immigration.
