The baby boom, often linked to the post-World War II era, actually began earlier than commonly believed. While typically defined as the period from 1946 to 1964, birth rates in the United States started to rise in the late 1930s. This increase continued through parts of World War II, with a significant surge at the war’s end. Contrary to popular belief, the baby boom was not an immediate aftermath of the war but part of a multi-decadal trend. The US Census Bureau and Britannica both define baby boomers as those born between 1946 and 1964, yet the data shows that the birth rate decline had already slowed by the end of the 1920s.
