Revision as of 11:12, 28 March 2006 by Fallout boy (talk | contribs)(diff) ← Previous revision | Latest revision (diff) | Newer revision → (diff)A baby boom is any period of greatly increased birth rate within temporal and usually geographical bounds. Many such instances have been recorded in human history and are often caused by uplifting factors such as good harvests, victories in sport or war, or just due to superstition. Persons born during this time are often called baby boomers.
Recent baby boom periods include:
- Year 2000 baby boom (2000)
- Echo baby boom (1978 - 1992)
- Post-World War II baby boom (1940s - 1960s)
Baby Boom is also the title of a 1987 movie starring Diane Keaton and of a subsequent TV show (1988-1989) based on it starring Kate Jackson.
