US Fertility Rate Falls To Record Low For Second Straight Year,

reports data from the National Center for Health Statistics show “the fertility rate in the United States fell to a record low for a second straight year...extending a deep decline that began in 2008.” The piece suggests that social forces are partly responsible, given that “women are postponing marriage, becoming more educated, and are more likely to be the primary breadwinners for their households.” https://www.nytimes.com/2018/05/17/us/fertility-rate-decline-united-states.html
