People born between 1927 and 1945 belong to which generation?

Individuals born between 1927 and 1945 are classified as belonging to the Silent Generation. This generation is characterized by being raised during a time of relative stability and conformity following the Great Depression and leading into World War II. The name "Silent Generation" reflects the perception that this cohort was more reserved and less vocal than the generations that came before and after them.

The Baby Boomers, on the other hand, refer to those born between 1946 and 1964, following World War II when there was a significant increase in birth rates. Generation X includes individuals born from 1965 to 1980, and Millennials are typically defined as those born from 1981 to 1996. Each of these generations is associated with distinct historical events and cultural shifts, further highlighting why the Silent Generation accurately captures the demographic specified in the question.
