I always describe it as a range, as estimates differ and the true peak might have happened even outside it. It's a historical milestone and I'm surprised there's so little awareness of it. There will most likely never be this many people born in a year ever and we crossed this point without much fanfare. Personally I think the predictions are overblown - as they assume that the generation "peak" will have 90% the children their parents had. Fertility rates in countries like Niger and Nigeria are already dropping at a faster rate than that and it's these places where the most people are currently born.
