History

Such changes in the demographics of the countries were associated with the return of a huge number of soldiers after WWII.
Many children were born in China between 1946 and 1964. The explosive growth was additionally facilitated by the state policy of encouraging large families at the time, as this later allowed for a large labor force that could be used to develop the economy.
