baby booms
Population growth spurts
Baby booms are periods of sharply increased birth rates, typically following major events like wars or economic recoveries.
The most famous is the post–World War II surge in the United States (1946–1964), which produced the generation called baby boomers.
Any demographic spike in births qualifies: Demographers noted baby booms in several countries after the pandemic.
