    The baby boom was a result of couples that held off on birthing children during the world war 2 and great depression. There was the return of economic prosperity and the soldiers who had been to war were coming back.

    Explanation:

    There was a large number of marriages. The women were getting married earlier. The average woman was getting married at 20.

    There was huge population growth in the mid 40s and mid 60s. The US had won the WW2 and people had children because they were optimistic about the future.

    32 million babies were born in the 1940's compared to 24 million in the 1930's. This had a great impact on the economy, there was an increased need for baby services and the toy fads of 1950's and 1960's.
