Look, I get what you're getting at, but I'm not going to apologize for assuming the context primarily applying to the US in this.
As far as I understand it, the baby boom is a particularly US term. Likewise, I understand the stereotype about getting a job with a smile and a handshake as a primarily US stereotype from the hugh availability of jobs here post WW2.
I'm not saying it didn't happen elsewhere, I'm saying that I'm personally not aware of the situation with elderly population and their stereotyped beliefs in countries outside the US.
I think this discussion would be far more productive if you, or others, maybe spoke about those trends and trends of beliefs elsewhere if you're familiar with them, rather than whatever you're trying to do here because I personally am not familiar with them.
