Echo Boom

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Echo Boom is an expansive term for American children born between 1982 and 1995, when for the first time since 1964, the number of live births reached over four million.[citation needed] It wouldn’t be until 1985 that the live birth number would even match that of 1965 at 3.760 million. Also it should be noted that the birthrate of 1971’s 17.2% has yet to be reached according to the 2000 census.[1]
