In Canada we are known as the buster generation - those born between 1967-1979 - this is when Canadian women were having fewer children. Those born in the 1980's are known as the boom-echo - women started having more children again, but not to the extent that was seen in the boomer generation. Also, GenX are actually baby boomers, but are born at the tale end of that generation.
It's interesting how there are so many different theories on demographics and generations.
Taualumna, if you haven't read Boom, Bust & Echo 2000, it's a great book. It talks about demographic and population trends in Canada.
The generations according to Boom, Bust & Echo...
born 1914 and earlier - Pre-World War I
1915-1919 - World War I
1920-1929 - The Roaring Twenties
1930-1939 - The Depression Babies
1940-1946 - World War II
1947-1966 - The Baby Boom: "Things are tough for the late-1950's group, but not nearly as bad as for the back end of the boom that arrived just after them. These are the 3.2 million people born from 1961-1966. They are the same age as the characters in Douglas Coupland's novel Generation X, which gave the early 1960's group its name" - David K. Foot
1967-1979 - The Baby Bust
1980-1995 - The Baby-Boom Echo
1996 -2010 - The Millenium Busters
