The essay “Boomers and Other Cohorts”, by the writers David Foot and Daniel Stoffman is about different age groups. The thesis is “Before we can understand what demographics have in store for him and all of us, we need to know the various cohorts that make up the Canadian population” But you may be wondering what the word ‘cohort’ really is? A cohort is a group of people, who share a defining characteristic. These people typically experienced a common event in a selected time period, such as birth. The three main cohorts that stood out through the essay are the baby boom, the baby dust, and the baby boom echo. These cohorts are consecutive to each other, meaning each previous cohorts affects the other ones that come after.
