There were two reasons for the baby boom in the US and UK: 1. The end of unemployment was an important factor in the early stages (1942-44). Overall, especially in the U.S. growing prosperity meant that many people were better able to provide for kids. 2. From 1946 onwards the sudden return of large numbers of demobilized soldiers, together with optimism about the future, led to a large increase in the number of births.
