By 1964, when the US population stood at nearly 192 million, four out of every 10 Americans were under 20 years old. More people were 17 than any other age. And there were more children under 14 than the nation’s entire population in 1881. Our country had gotten literally younger because of a mammoth post-World War II surge in procreation: a baby boom that dramatically transformed our demographic landscape.
