	Post-World War II baby boom - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		As is often the case with a large war, the elation of victory and large numbers of males returning to their country triggered a baby boom after the end of World War II in many countries around the globe, notably those of Europe, Asia, North America and Australasia.
		In Canada, the baby boom is usually defined as the generation born from 1947 to 1966 – Canadian soldiers were repatriated later than American servicemen, and Canada's birthrate did not start to rise until 1947, and most Canadian demographers prefer to use the later date of 1966 as the boom's end in that country.
		The United Kingdom experienced a second baby boom during the 1960s, with a peak in births in 1964 and a third (smaller) one in the late 1980s.

	IPCC Special Report on Emissions Scenarios
		Even so the future is always unknowable and surprises are in store, as confirmed by a cursory review of the past history of population projections in which fundamental events were largely unforeseen (post-World War II baby boom, acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) or the recent rapidity of fertility decline in developing countries).
		World population reached 1 billion in 1804, 2 billion in 1927, 3 billion in 1960, 4 billion in 1974, and 5 billion in 1987, reaching the 6 billion level shortly before the millenium (UN, 1998).
		World annual population growth rates probably averaged less than 0.6% during the 18th and 19th centuries, passed the 1% rate around 1920, and peaked at 2.04% in the late 1960s (UN, 1998).

	Employment and Training Policy Implications of the Aging Baby Boom Generation
		The U.S. baby boom generation is categorized by demographers into two distinct groups; the first half of the generation was born between 1946 and 1955, and the second half, between 1956 and 1964.
		Baby boomers with relatively high and technical skills and education, like other high-skilled workers, will probably continue to be in demand in the labor market, even as they age, as long as they maintain and upgrade their skills.
		For both baby boom groups a smaller proportion of household heads were married and a smaller proportion had children, compared to their parents generation at the same age.

		The aging of this relatively large Baby Boom cohort therefore means that the U.S. population overall is growing older.
		When the first Baby Boomers -- born from 1946 to 1964 -- enter their golden years in 2011, the number of Americans age 65 and over will begin to rise significantly, from 39 million in 2010 to 69 million by 2030, a 77% increase.
		Slowing population growth, coupled with the immense size of the Baby Boom generation, means that in 2030 about 20% of the U.S. population will be 65 and older compared with the current percentage of less than 13%.

	Rosie the Riveter
		Rose Will Monroe probably best represented the new way of life whereby the women who raised the post World War II baby boom generation also provided most of the labor for producing the materiels of the war.
		For many, this sharing and cooperation that was born out of the demands placed on the women of World War II created life-long bonds among them.
		While many of the men were behind the lines serving the war effort as clerks, cooks, bakers, supply and maintenance personnel and staff officers of all types, many of the women were working in shifts around the clock bagging gunpowder and manufacturing artillery shells, and other high explosives.

	The Aging of America and the Transition to Sustainability
		The rapid population growth of the post-World War II "baby boom" created a huge generation ö some 95 million strong ö which will be entering old age in the first part of the next century.
		This baby "bust" contrasted sharply with the high fertility of the previous two decades and created an uneven age structure where one generation (the boomers) had significantly more members than the generations that preceded and followed it.
		One reason is population momentum, the large number of women in the baby boom generation simply had more babies (even though they averaged less than two) than the deaths of those from earlier (and smaller) generations.

	American Experience Tupperware! People & Events PBS
		Although many people assume that the baby boom happened because peace and prosperity returned, historian Elaine Tyler May points out in Homeward Bound: American Families in the Cold War Era that the rise in the number of births went far beyond what was expected from a return to peace.
		Previous periods of post-war prosperity, notably the period after World War I, had not led to such dramatic increases in marriage and childbearing.
		In the late 1940s and early 1950s, Americans in their childbearing years had weathered the Depression and a devastating war, and they were living under a cloud of possible nuclear war.

		As the first of 78 million people from the post World War II baby boom generation -- those born between 1946 and 1964 -- approach retirement age, their legacy has already impacted society more than any other generation.
		Elements of the generation decided they were self-ordained to change the world, so they embarked on missions of good intentions: Civil rights, equal rights for women, growing government, revising the education system, controlling corporate America and re-defining society.
		The irony is not lost on many coming-of-age boomers who began their legacy by rejecting their parents -- belatedly recognized as the greatest generation -- and revolting against the social, political, education and corporate establishment.

	Publisher description for Library of Congress control number 2001052756
		In Birth Quake, Diane J. Macunovich argues that the common thread underlying all these changes was the post-World War II baby boom--in particular, the passage of the baby boomers into young adulthood.
		Between 1965 and 1985, the Western world and the United States in particular experienced a staggering amount of social and economic change.
		Macunovich focuses on the pervasive effects of changes in "relative cohort size," the ratio of young to middle-aged adults, as masses of young people tried to achieve the standard of living to which they had become accustomed in their parents' homes despite dramatic reductions in their earning potential relative to that of their parents.

		Students and educators at the secondary and post secondary levels interested in U.S. and presidential politics and history will find this a valuable yet not fully complete resource, incomplete perhaps, because Clinton's legacy is still being written.

	The Looming Budgetary Impact of Society's Aging
		The relatively sanguine budgetary outlook for the next decade does not encompass the demographic shifts--emerging with the retirement of the post-World War II baby-boom generation--that will cause federal spending to begin rising sharply within the next 20 years (see Figure 1).
		The "baby boom" and subsequent "baby trough" are events that have occurred; the subsequent uptick in birth rates has not been substantial and may now have leveled off; and life expectancy continues to increase (see Figures 2 and 3).
		However, the first of the baby boomers will become eligible for Social Security in just six years, and the seeds for a long-term rise in federal spending begin to emerge shortly thereafter as more and more members of that generation draw on the government's largest entitlement programs.
