The Great Depression of the 1930's ended when the U.S entered World War II. Entering war helps get out of an economic depression because it takes men out of the work force and puts them in the military, causing the rest of the U.S to enter the job market. Then they mass produce many products which causes the economy to boom.
During the Great Depression, the birthrate went down drastically b/c people could not afford to have babies. When WW2 began, it ended the depression and an economic boom began. As an effect, the birthrate shot up because people were prospering and could once again afford to have and take care of babies. The baby boom did not actually begin before the end of WW II. In the western world, the birth rate was in decline during the Great Depression and it remained quite low until the single men/women of the armed forces returned to civilian life and took spouses. The " Baby Boom " is generally regarded as the period from late 1946 to the early 60's -- a time of economic recovery that moved into unparalleled prosperity by the mid- '50s. That period coincided with the prime fertility years of those returning war veterans.
