Infinitesimal Infants

In 2018, there were 3.79 million births, a 2% decline from 2017, the fourth straight year of declines, and the lowest level since 1986! Births have fallen in 10 of the last 11 years! Reasons include a decline in unplanned pregnancies, lower Hispanic fertility rates, and more women earning college degrees. Only women ages 35-44 saw an uptick in birthrates. Fewer babies means slower growth and eventually higher taxes.
