Numerous Factors Contributing To Precipitous Decline In America’s Fertility, Economist Explains.
“The Upshot,” economist Lyman Stone at Demographic Intelligence writes, “America’s fertility is in precipitous decline,” as projected by a “team of forecasters at Demographic Intelligence.” The forecasters projected “3.84 million births in 2017, down from about 3.95 million in 2016.” Stone breaks down the data in detail, concluding that “with marriage coming later, the share of women at peak childbearing ages (20 to 40) who are married has steadily fallen.” At the same time, “unmarried births are falling, too.” Americans appear to be “having less sex than they used to,” and people in the US “are improving their ability to avoid unwanted pregnancies far faster than they are improving the ability to achieve desired pregnancy.” https://www.nytimes.com/2018/02/13/upshot/american-fertility-is-falling-short-of-what-women-want.html
