The birth rate bump was highest among women under 25 who had never had kids before, suggesting the pandemic led people to start families sooner.
Economic trends during the coronavirus pandemic like increased job flexibility, have led to an increase in birthrates in the United States.
"It's really remarkable, because it's the first recession where we see fertility going up rather than down," said Hannes Schwandt, a health economist at Northwestern University, who co-authored the report with Martha J. Bailey, from UCLA, and Janet Currie, from Princeton. The birth rate bump was most noticeable among first births and women under 25, which suggests that the pandemic led many people to start families sooner, wrote Bailey, Currie and Schwandt. The baby bump was also pronounced among women aged 30 to 34 and those between the ages of 25 and 44 with a college degree.
The findings highlight the significance of foreign-born women boosting US fertility rates as well as the importance of lower "opportunity costs" that made it more feasible for working women to have children, according to the study.
