My Boomer Tips
I was just wondering because it just seems that so many people are popping out babies left and right and they are starting so young.

Demographically there has been a "baby boomlet."
Quote:
"It has been suggested that the next generation, born from 2010, will be called ‘Generation Alpha’.
While Generation Z is often referred to as the 21st century generation, Generation Alpha will be truly the first millennial generation because they will be the first entirely born into the 21st century (some of the oldest members of Generation Z were born at the tail end of the 20th century).
Generation Alpha will largely be the children of Generation Y and older members of Generation Z, as well as the grandchildren of the younger Baby Boomers and of the older members of Generation X."

The "baby boomlet" is the result of a sizable number of adults capable of reproduction, as noted in the above paragraph.
