Newborn babies in a postpartum recovery center in upstate New York. A new report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says the number of births in the U.S. hit a 32-year low in 2018.
The total fertility rate was 1,728 births per 1,000 U.S. women in 2018, down 2% from the previous year. Total fertility rate is an age-adjusted estimate of the number of babies a hypothetical group of 1,000 women would have over their lifetimes. When this rate, it means the current generation is making enough babies to replace itself.
The teen birth rate last year was 17.4 births per 1,000 adolescent girls and young women ages 15 to 19. That was a 7% drop from 2017 and a new record low for the country. Young Americans still want to have children, but they don't feel stable enough to have them yet, saidThe U.S. could do more to encourage childbearing with parental leave, child care subsidies and other policies aimed at helping young adults struggling with student loan debt and housing costs, Guzzo said.Births were down last year across racial groups, with small declines for Latinos, whites, blacks and Asians. The number of babies born to native Hawaiian and Pacific Islanders was stable.
