How did the increase in the birthrate and marriage impact on US homefront during WW2 (1939-1945)?
score:3
I'm still unsure what you are looking for, but there is a publication which might help.
(Note this is a large pdf file (887 pgs), so be patient on loading.)
Here is one specific chart concerning birth rates (pg 60, pdf pg 68):
A page earlier is marriage information (pg 59, pdf pg 67)::
These charts provide an overview of the changes in birth rate and marriage rate before, during and after the war.

In their book, "Generations", William Strauss and Neil Howe opine that the "Baby Boom" began in 1943. Of course, they are not referring to the demographic phenomenon, which started in 1946, but rather cultural attitudes toward child rearing; that is, children born in 1943 were treated more like children born in 1946 than children born in 1940-41 (1942 was a transition year).
The hardships of the Depression were starting to dissipate by 1940, when the U.S. started gearing up for the approach of their involvement in World War II. That was the time Americans e.g. started re-introducing meat into their diets, if only in the form of e.g spam, that is canned spiced ham. (More fresh meat came after the war.) Even these small changes brought about the rise in marriage rates in 1941-42, and birth rates in 1942 (but more like 1943).
Parents were feeling optimistic about the future (in 1941, Life Magazine referred to the 20th century as the "American" century), and ready to "indulge" their children in small ways (more food and toys and "permissiveness), relative to the past. That created a wilder, looser bunch of kids beginning in 1943; (the "campus riots" started in 1965 when these kids turned 22).
