The birth rate in the United States fell to the lowest level

Washington: An organization under the US government has revealed in its new report that the birth rate has decreased to a record level in 2023.

According to media reports, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recently released data on the birth rate, which indicates that in 2023, fewer than 3.6 million children will be born in the United States. That’s down about 76,000 from a year ago.

This birth rate is the lowest number of children born in the United States since 1979. Nicholas Mark, a researcher at the University of Wisconsin, said this is due to a trend toward later childbearing among American women, which is becoming more common as more women want to focus on education and careers before raising children. are

He added that previous data showed that there has been a steady decline in the birth rate among teenage women, but there has also been an increase in the tendency of women in their 30s and 40s to have children.

However, in 2023, there is no increase in the birth rate among women in their 30s and 40s, and on the other hand, the birth rate among young women is seen to decrease even more.
