In fact, the number of births was on the increase in the early 1970s, which was labeled as the 'second baby boom'.
Here, perhaps the changing family size ideals were associated with the baby boom of the 1950s.
Particularly, the impending retirement of the baby boom generation is raising a great deal of concern.
The 1950s and 1960s baby boom will of course mean a bulge in the numbers of older people when they reach later life.
This period of sustained high fertility has been called the 'baby boom'.
Total births after the 'baby boom' of 1946-48 declined each year until the mid 1950s.
The aggregate saving rate decreases from 2000 until about 2050 across all capital mobility scenarios, since the baby boom generation decumulates assets.
These last three trends would undoubtedly have been stronger had the baby boom not occurred.
