They were probably the first generation where...
1: having children was more of an economic burden than a benefit.
2: easy means of avoiding having children existed and were generally available.
3: social pressure to have kids was still strong enough to override 1 and 2.
So you have a bunch of people peer pressure into making an easily avoidable choice to take on a massive burden.
