Six Ways to Profit from the Mini-Baby Boom

Population growth is the lifeblood of all civilizations and societies. It is a carried promise of further development and prosperity in a nation. The U.S. is in fact in the midst of a mini baby boom and there are long term opportunities here for the looking. A record number of babies were born in the USA in 2007, according to early federal data that some demographers say could signal an impending baby “boomlet.”

In 2007, 4.315 million births were reported by the National Center for Health Statistics, giving us a glimpse of the growing lengthening trend in the US. This number would be a new milestone and record or the U.S. The last time the number was this high was in 1957, which coincidentally was in the middle of the “baby boom” years from 1946 to 1964. Demographers have been monitoring gradual increases in recent years; data for 2006, which won’t be made final until September, show a 3% increase over 2005. That’s the largest single-year increase since 1989.
