Information About

Baby Boom




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 Boomer s. Some contest the general conventional wisdom that baby booms signify good times and periods of general economic growth and stability, but this is a controversial position that ignores much of the well-documented historical record from the 1500s to present.
