Actually, from the episode, it seems that Ben arrived on the island when he was 10-12 years old and the Purge occurred when he was probably around late 20s.
It must have happened after the Purge coz Dharma was setting up some sort of hippie-ish community and they wouldn't have done that if the childbirth problem was prevalent. It would have been better to set up a temporary research facility that they travel to on a weekly or monthly basis as opposed to a full-fledged commune with kids, school, etc.
