Well I remember back in the late 80's the consensus was that the population had peaked and that lower birth rate was going to see a population decrease.
Why has the birth rate gone up during the past 25 years?
I'm not sure what point you're trying to make or whether that is an actual question?
Before I made my initial post I did a quick lookup to see what the figures were like for births and immigration. It would appear that birth rates have decreased in the last few years. Admittedly, I've not looked into too much so you may well be correct in saying it's gone up overall over 25 years but the last couple of years have seen a decrease.
