Birth rate in U.S. falls to lowest level in 32 years, CDC says
(Worthy News) – The number of babies born in the U.S. in 2018 fell to the lowest level in 32 years, according to a government report released Wednesday.
The numbers are part of a decadeslong trend toward fewer and fewer babies being born each year — which means we’re getting further away from the possibility of having enough children to replace ourselves, according to the report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
“The major finding is that the fertility rates are reaching record lows,” said the report’s lead author, Brady Hamilton, a statistician and demographer at the CDC’s National Center for Health Statistics. “There have been record lows in the teenage birth rate, which fell 7 percent compared to 2017.” [ Source: NBC News (Read More…) ]
