During the Great Depression, the birthrate went down drastically b/c people could not afford to have babies. When WW2 began, it ended the depression and an economic boom began. As an effect, the birthrate shot up because people were prospering and could once again afford to have and take care of babies.
The baby boom did not actually begin before the end of WW II. In the western world,
the Birth Rate was in decline during the Great Depression and it remained quite low until the single men/women of the armed forces returned to civilian life and took spouses. The " Baby Boom " is generally regarded as the period from late 1946 to the early 60's -- a time of economic recovery that moved into unparalleled prosperity by the mid- '50s. That period coincided with the prime fertility years of those returning war veterans.

How did baby boom happen in the 1950s?
First you must understand that there was no birth control pill during and after World War 2. The pill came along after the baby boom. From 1945 to 1964 millions of men and women married and had lots of children. The reason the pattern continued so long was because the Korean war occorred so soon after World War 2. The joy of men returning from war and getting married or returning to their wives resulted in a lot of pregnancies. Once the pill came along in the latter part of the Sixties the women of childbearing age started using them and the population boom stopped.
