And yet we deport undocumented labor which helps fill the population cliff and disproportionately pays into social services since they are not applicable for social security.
Simply does not make sense, we do not have a birth rate high enough for replacement and each retired senior needs 2-3 workers to pay for them.
Seems like we’re cutting off the nose to spite the face here
There aren’t that many boomers
What was going on about 50 years ago that left a hole like that
I would love to see this for other countries, like South Korean (aka South Carerdddd), Japan, and China.
Colleges that are struggling today will be SCREWED. This is the biggest freshman class that there will be in America for at least the next 20 years
I’d love to know what caused those bumps of children being born.
that baby boom bump in their late 70s is gonna smooth out over the next 10 years. A lot of change is going to happen as the boomers depart, for better or worse.
that taper down from 35 to 0 is going to bite us in the ass real hard in a couple decades.
Crazy that you can see *exactly* when WW2 ended on this chart.
well, all I can say is, at least I’m just now exiting the male surplus which corresponds with the beginning of the female surplus. Maybe I can at least have a really old girlfriend…better late than never I guess.
As a 33 year old I feel surrounded by 32-35 year olds (what up early 90s babies), guess math checks out
Looks like we got some excess blue to shed, right in time for ww3.
I would love to see this population if you take out our first and or second immigrant population. The same people that are cheering ICE‘s antics are also the same ones that would be freaking out at the lack of labor…OTOH I’m sure many of them just think that they’re going to use our former….native workforce again.
I completely understand why there are so many more women than men at older ages (men die younger). What I don’t understand is why there are so many more men that are younger. Are male sperm just better swimmers or something?
I understand the (multiple causes for) female excess in later years. Can someone offer explanations for the excess male population in the 45 and younger crowd?
That’s a pretty healthy population pyramid for a well developed country tbh
Men of America…if you make it to 60 then the odds are in your favor. Id say the pickings get good but its women over 60 so lol. Im kidding ladies over 60.
Could be worse, could be a LOT worse. Thank god for immigrants.
Looks like Cartman for some reason
Kinda looks like that head-on shot of Titanic…
woohoo: surplus women my age!
boohoo: can’t get a date with women any age 🙁
I’ve lost three male friends in the last 7 years, all of whom were in the 43–49 age range – heart attack, and I know of others who have died at this age as well. I always suspected *something* was going on but never knew exactly what. Now I see a statistically significant dip in blue between ages 45-50. Can anyone explain? Have others heard of this for men?
Crazy to think there are more Millennials aged 30-36 than any other age group.
Notice the big drop at age 16, which would correspond to being born in 2008. My theory is the birth rate drop is mostly due to economics
There really _are_ so many hot single ladies in my area…
Only thing, they’re 60+. Oh well!
What’s up with the 77yo’s?

Is the male to female gap at the top just r/whywomenlivelonger…..
Interesting that the male population excess drops off at about 45.. war in Afghanistan/Iraq?
