Part 6/10:
A Closer Look at the U.S. Fertility Rates
The fertility rate in the United States presents a complex picture when analyzed by demographics. While the overall fertility rate has declined, it is essential to note that birth rates among women over 30 have seen an increase. Conversely, there has been a staggering 77% drop in births among women aged 15 to 19. This trend indicates that while older women are opting to have children later, younger women are increasingly choosing to delay or forgo childbirth altogether.
