Birth Cohorts affect individuals through the cohort effect and the period effect. The cohort effect is likely to experience similar life course events at roughly the same time. For example, if a young woman is about to graduate high school and she is about to give birth to her firstborn. The period effect focused more on common history. Everybody that was alive for the 9/11 terrorist attacks was affected by this event. More recently, people that were alive in 2008 were alive to witness America's first mixed race president take office.
