Yes, a 59-year-old is generally considered to be a Baby Boomer.
Here's a breakdown:
Baby Boomers are the generation born in the years following World War II, during a notable increase in birth rates known as the "baby boom." While the exact years can sometimes vary depending on the source, the most commonly accepted range for the Baby Boomer generation is from 1946 to 1964.
- Birth Years: 1946 - 1964
- Age in 2024: Approximately 60 - 78 years old.

Since someone who is 59 years old in 2024 would have been born in 1965, this person would not be considered a Baby Boomer. They would fall into the next generation, Generation X.
