CPC Fellow Ronald Rindfuss comments on the impact of the "baby boomlet" in USA Today
Jul 18, 2008
"But family
demographer Ronald Rindfuss of the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill
says there is a bigger question looming than who's having kids.
"'From the
perspective of schools that have to educate these children, this is a real
increase in the number of births and something they're going to have to deal
with,' he says. But it won't be 'the kind of shock that we saw at the beginning
of the baby boom. In 1952 and '53, in many parts of the country, schools had to
run double sessions. This is a gradual increase.'" (Jayson, Sharon. July 17, 2008.
