In the English-speaking world, the 50s and early 60s were a boom in many ways - babies, economic growth, workers' share of national income, confidence in the future. The former USSR had something very similar, despite its very different system.
The last time the birth rates were this low was the Great Depression, and I suspect this is no accident.
