They're called boomers because there was a population boom. It was the era of contraceptives, where we thought we would run out of food. Lagging indicators always seem to throw people off, especially one that takes a whole generation. China had an overpopulation problem and now they're facing a different kind of population problem as back then Chinese would opt for only one male child. Longer lifespans and overpriced education led to other kinds of problems that took decades to kick in. It's really hard to model this in.
