What caused the world wide population explosion from the 1950s?

The worldwide population explosion from the 1950s was primarily driven by significant advancements in medical technology, which reduced mortality rates and improved public health. The introduction of vaccines and antibiotics, along with better sanitation and nutrition, led to lower infant mortality and increased life expectancy. Additionally, the post-World War II economic boom and agricultural innovations, such as the Green Revolution, enhanced food production, supporting larger populations. These factors combined created a rapid increase in global population growth during this period.
