Article Abstract:

Social scientists are arguing about the causes of baby boom in spite of low fertility rate in the Western countries. One of them argues that the baby boom resulted from the unprecedented concurrence of three developments, expansion of the economy, restricted immigration since the mid-1920s, and a relatively small cohort of new job seekers due to low fertility in the late 1920s and 1930s.
