Introduction

The baby boom appears first as a centerpiece in many social science explanations. Subsequently, he keeps certainly important, but it no longer acts in accordance with the theory of paradigms. Boomers belong to the generation born between 1946 and 1966. It creates in a demographic bulge curves reminiscent of a rabbit swallowed by a python and migrate along its body. In the 20 years following 1966, the "rabbit" reached the ages of 20 to 39 years (1966-1986) and enters the active population. In 2011, the "rabbit" reaches 65, the usual threshold of transition from work to retirement. This will be followed, until 2031, 20 years that the company could see the rapidly increasing number of retirees. However, economic fluctuations, changes in attitudes and expectations of lifestyle and a longer life expectancy are redefining the approach to aging and retirement of this generation. As baby boomers retire, a growing number of workers will fill the vacancies, many of which require specialized skills. This could lead to measures of retention, delayed age of retirement and recruitment of foreign workers (Howlett & Rayner 2006, 251).

The labor force is becoming older as an increasing number of workers of the baby boomers reach their sixties. In 2005, studies on the Canadian labor force indicate that the elderly hold a university degree were four times more likely to participate in the labor force than those with eight years of formal education or less. The women of the baby boomers are also involved longer in the workforce. In 2007, 35 p. 100 older workers are women. By 2036, the number of elderly (65 years) could more than double that in Canada then in all probability, p 23. 100 to 25 p. 100 of the population will be seniors compared to 14 percent and 100 in 2009.

Emergence of the Nexus Generation (Generation X)

According to Easterlin theory, large cohorts of people like that baby boomers would, unlike the small, economically disadvantaged. The Nexus Generation, or Generation X (1966-1974), is that which corresponds to the fall in birth rates after the baby boom, that is to say, the "baby bust" after 1966. If this theory holds true for Canada and several other developed countries, it is not really suggest that Quebec and Ontario: Quebec is experiencing a baby boom less pronounced than that of Ontario, but then a Fertility decline more pronounced (fertility).

Cohorts of the Nexus Generation or Generation X, a term popularized by author Douglas Coup land, entering the labor market from the late 1980s and, according to theory, they should have economic benefits. However, this generation faces a rate of unemployment and a higher income distribution disadvantage. Therefore, they have no desire to repeat a baby boom. Everything suggests that the magnitude of the falling birth rate would have been greater without the echo effect produced by the baby boom (birth not resulting in the fertility rate of mothers, but the greater number of mothers) (McKeen & Bu 2005, 533).
