Baby boom

An article in the Chattanooga Times-Free Press quoted Douglas Bachtel, UGA demographer and College of Family and Consumer Sciences professor, in an article about U.S. baby births in 2007, which hit an all-time record. 

“Our population numbers are at an all-time high. As a result, there would be an increase in the number of women of childbearing age,” Bachtel said.
