Population and Baby Boom
Posted: December 23rd, 2010 | Author: saldarji | Filed under: stuff | Tags: Population, Statistics | No Comments »I was looking at some population data today.
- The baby boom was dramatic, but when you look at next to the other age brackets, it doesn’t seem so dramatic. This is probably a result of mortality.
- Since people are living longer, the number of people over 80 is expected to skyrocket.
- The Social Security issue is not a result of insufficient people to support the aging population, it is because there are insufficient working age people to support the population.
- There is a noticable “echo” effect as a result of the baby boom.
- There was an uptick in births (peak was in 2007)
