The share of people born each year since 1937383940 alive in 2021 was calculated by comparing U.S. Census Bureau population projections to the number of births each year from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Vital Statistics of the United States report series. Total U.S. population figures in each year are from the Bureau of Economic Analysis. Since it is now March 2023 as of this writing, I think it would be fair to assume an additional 2% deduction per year since 2021 for each age category.
