What was the purpose for the declining birth rate after the baby boomers after WWII?

Answer 1

First of all, it's a generational thing -- the post WW2 years produced an extensively high birthrate, and it would naturally take a while for this group of babies to have babies themselves. In the interim between these two periods, there was an obvious lull. Though undoubtedly, the sexual revolution with the invention of birth control was a decisive factor in the decline of actual births throughout this period.

Second of all, the birth rate set by the baby boomers was not the standard -- it was an anomaly! The birthrate after didn't so much decline as "go back to normal." Also, don't forget that a birthrate is relative to a population size -- thus, no matter what, after the baby boom, the size opf the US grew exponentially even as the birth rate regressed some.

Answer 2

If so many people had their children in the period just after the war, then it makes sense that they would not have that many more for a period of time. Once they have 2 or 3 kids, they may say that is enough. Now the kids are too young to have kids and the older ones don't want any more and they aren't having kids.
I don't have the figures but I would think that the birth rate increased between 20 and 25 years after WW2. That would be from 1965 to 1970. You can check the figures on that.

Answer 3

Do you mean the reasons or the purpose?
Reasons include: the introduction of contraceptive pill. Also women's lib meant women got jobs and less likely to stay at home and raise lots of kids. Better medication (eg antibiotics) meant less children died in child birth so not necessary for couples to have big families to combat this. Pensions meant couples not reliant on children's wages in retirement, materialism meant that children became more expensive to raise and families made a choice whether to have them or not, previously was socially unacceptable to not have children, nowadays not so. Nowadays, girls have been raised and educated to think that to grow up and get married and have kids is inferior to pursuing a career, life is too expensive for only one couple in the family to be working.
The purpose? No purpose, except that maybe nature is telling us that the planet is overpopulated and we are solving the problem in our own way.

Answer 4

This post-WWII “Baby Boom” saw an average of 10,000 births a day in the U.S. and 1,000 in Canada, and there
were similar baby booms throughout Europe. This boom was preceded by a “Baby Bust” during the depression and war years, and then followed by another relative bust for about a 15-year period after 1964.

Just blunders and slip-ups with human errors in idol worshiping and not in worshiping God with lost sense of direction and purpose of life in planet of apes.
Ever wonder how living human kind with total loss of our creator's universal gifts of life were living in misery being rolling off from the faulty production lines in idol worshiping the dead Mummy with skeleton of skull and bones and not in worshiping God were creating the mess in their own backyards in planet of apes.
Ever wonder how little horror chucky and the were-wolves keep on kicking the butts of the dirty old men in office trying to tell them the mess they created for themselves in planet of apes.
