mox: you make a good point, that the change in birth rate is more relevant then the overall population growth. However in my experience there has been a significant DROP in the birth rate the past 10-15 years as birth control has become more popular in our circles, for better or for worse. According to this we may find a shortage of BOYS 10-20 years down the line. In any event, unless there is concrete evidence of a recent INCREASE in the birth rate I think the “age gap” may correct itself w/o overturning the current system.
