Baby boomers are defined as the demographics born during post-World War II between the years 1946 and 1965. As of 2016, boomers are in their 50s and 60s. As a group, they are interested in pursuing a healthy lifestyle and are willing to invest time and money in maintaining healthy bodies. Yoga, a mind body practice, is an appealing option for this group. A current U.S. national study showed that yoga practitioners over the age of 49 are the second largest group comprising 38% of the yoga practitioners. However, the boomer yoga practitioners do not have many choices when it comes to shopping for yoga wear. Manufacturers of active wear produce the same yoga wear for individuals regardless of age, even though the baby boomer market has different clothing needs and garment design preferences. This study explored baby boomers’ clothing needs and preferences in yoga wear.

The Baby Boomer generation has exerted significant influence within Canadian society. This power will continue to strengthen as Baby Boomers will redefine their lives in their golden years. The sheer volume of this generation has continuously affected economic and political clout, which constantly alters society. The current model of traditional institutional care, which keeps the elderly apart from their community to receive additional healthcare, will no longer be a suitable option for the Baby Boomers. As such, an investigation into an alternative solution for senior living is needed in order to provide an adequate environment to support this powerful and diverse elderly Baby boomer generation. This thesis establishes architectural strategies that address the fundamental theory that encourages ageing in a place within the community, allowing for a "society for all ages." This thesis also identifies how architecture can reduce the reliance of formal care through providing social connectivity within an intergenerational setting, which promotes independence and community support. The result is an architectural exploration reinterpreting the way we design for the ageing Baby Boomer population by creating unique spatial relationships that provide the opportunity for the community to engage in social activities.

Considerations contained in the article cover the issues of labor market leaving models and their evaluation by the representatives of two generations: one ending and the other beginning its professional activity. Consecutive parts of the article present brief characterizations of the generations under scrutiny (Baby Boomers and Generation Z), discuss the labor market leaving models that were the subject of evaluation (the rigid, flexible, and gradual models), and showcase the results of a survey carried out among 567 representatives of the two generations. An attempt was made to verify the research hypothesis on the basis of the survey results. That hypothesis assumed the existence of differences in the evaluation of labor market leaving models by representatives of Baby Boomers and Generation Z and posited that representatives of Generation Z rate the flexible and gradual models higher than representatives of the Baby Boomer generation, while the Baby Boomer generation rates the rigid model higher than Generation Z.
