A demand for housing.
Explanation: The postwar rise in marriages and births (the Baby Boom) created a huge need for family homes, driving suburban housing construction (e.g., Levittowns) and mortgage growth. It did not cause high unemployment, and it generally reduced—rather than increased—work opportunities for many women; population growth fed suburban expansion rather than growth in central cities.
