  1. I don’t think “fertility” and “birth” are the same thing. But yes, there was a lot of post war enthusiasm.

  2. I mean… yeah that’s what “baby boom” means. This is like a graph saying “the Industrial Revolution in England saw a sharp increase in the number of coal powered factories”

  3. Is there a reason for why it seemingly started before the end of ww2? We’re soldiers coming home before the official end?

    And then, up to about 2000-2005, it more or less hovered around the normal displacement rate. And then it all collapsed.

  5. Would be interesting to see this mapped with child mortality rates. I wonder how many of those 5.25 children in the 1800s survived into adulthood?

  6. Interesting that it’s not really so much of a “boom” as a return to normalcy and the levels that were normal around 1920 and before.

    It’s more like there was a “Baby Bust” between 1930-1940

  7. What I find more interesting is that the downward trend picked up right where it left off in 1980 and continued going down. Eventually we’ll be gone if you believe the trend will continue inexorably.

  8. somehow we got natalist doomers now and not back in 1910 looking at that graph

  9. They referred to 80-90 as the “Baby Boom Echo” when I was a kid, but now I see we had an even stronger boom in 1999, the peak of human civilization.

    Governments will get more native born loyal citizens that grow up to pay taxes for life if they pay for the kids to be born and raised.

    Gov: Have a 2nd kid, we will provide tax credit that covers food, child care, medical cost for your child until they are 18.

    Did these mothers actually have more children in their lives, or were they just all bunched up in specific years due to the depression and war? Seems likely it’s the latter.

    This graph shows how grateful people were for home,family and freedom. And sex.

  14. I never understood why baby boomers are called. Baby boomer = the people who boomed the babies, but no, they’re the babies who got boomed! Why aren’t their parents the ones called baby boomers??

  15. Feels like if you remove the depression and world war you would probably have had a straight line of consistent decline

  16. Ahh the 70’s, the free love of the 60’s was crushed and life went back to sucking
