The boom comes from "baby boom" which means a sudden increase in the birth rate. This happens normally after wars end that have high casualty rates.

I recall reading that the day WW1 was declared over, people were copulating in the streets of London.

People have an urge to rebuild the population.

It's a biological imperative, not a rational thought process.
