A baby boom is any period of greatly increased birth rate during a certain period, and usually within certain geographical bounds. Persons born during such a period are often called baby boomers. Some contest the general conventional wisdom that baby booms signify good times and periods of general economic growth and stability.
The term baby boom most often refers to the dramatic post-World War II baby boom (notice the rate of change on the chart below). However, the term remains a general demographic one and is also applicable to other similar population expansions.
Recent baby boom periods include:
- Post-World War II baby boom (1940s–1960s)
- Echo baby boom (Generation Y) (1970s–1990s), the children of the post-WWII baby boomers.
Other uses
Babyboom is the name of the acoustic reggae/folk side project of Manchester ska punk band Sonic Boom Six.
