They were less insular, but they experienced late onset PTSD symptoms. The cohort born during the post-World War II baby boom in the United States, referred to as the baby boomers, has been driving change in the age structure. They engaged more with the world outside of themselves and their families. This demographic knowledge was well known to both French and German politicians and planners of the inter-war years, and affected many decisions including the construction of the Maginot Line and the respective decisions by French and German Generals to respectively imagine a defensive or offensive next war. Unlike men who’d fought in World War II, baby boomers came of age in an era that was more global. However a baby bust in Germany was still a substantially greater growth rate than the contemporary baby boom in France, and Germany post-war was increasing in population at a much greater rate than Franc. German population growth over the same two periods was respectively 59% and 15%, so there is definitely a baby bust in Germany. Canadas population swelled after the war, fuelled by increased immigration and a spike in the birth rate known as the baby boom. American men and women faced the two greatest challenges of the 20th century: the Great Depression and World War II. Women generally married young and became mothers soon after marriage. The fertility rate for Pkeh women rose and this continued until the early 1970s. (Note that extrapolating from 20 years to 40 years, the post-war 7% translates to a 14.5% rate over 40 years.) As soldiers returned at the end of the Second World War, New Zealand experienced the first stage of the baby boom high rates of early marriage and increasing family size. As documented by Acemoglu, Autor, and Lyle (2004), the war induced a large positive shock to the demand for female labor.
French population growth (for the 40 years) from 18 was 8.6%, compared to 7.0% (for the 20 years) from 1919 to 1939. In this paper, we propose a novel explanation for the baby boom, based on the demand for female labor during World War II.
