The number of births in the US increased slightly in 2024. to approximately 3.6 million, according to temporary data from the disease control and prevention centers (CDC).
A small increase of 1% in the number of births comes due to the long-term decline that began during the Great Recession, for about 2008. years. Temporary data were published on Wednesday.
However, at least one demographer warned against extracting all data trend conclusions – noting that it is growing as growing in American families facing lasting challenges in economic insecurity, housing and children’s costs.
“There are still very basic transformations of fertility and families in the US,” said Hans-Peter Kohler, sociologist and professor studying a family demographics at the University of Pennsylvania.
In the US, economical uncertainty, housing costs and changes in how important people will make it expect to continue, “, he would continue to continue,” he would be going on he would continue “, and that would proceed, “I would add that it would continue,” he added that it would continue to continue, “he would continue to proceed,” he would continue “, and that would continue” Continue “.
The report showed a record number of teenage girls and young women who were born, while the number of women aged 40-44. The trend that continued almost uninterrupted since 1985. years.
The CDC National Center for Health Statistics examines data on the basis of almost all born in 2024. years. The report is made on temporary data published in March.
A slight annual increase in birth seem to be largely attributed to Latin American and Asian mothers, for which the number of births increased by 4% and 5%. The number of births refused 4% for black women, 3% for American individual and Alaska native women, and less than 1% for white women. Born was essentially unchanged for original Hawaiian and Pacific Women’s solutions.
The CDC report did not deal with the reasons for which the Americans decide to have children. However, growing American families face the availability of challenges.
The United States is in the middle of the child care crisis, with the lack of workers, high costs and long lists waiting for young children. However, Trump administration proposed a basket education for even the most needed children of the nation Eliminating the start of the head Funding fully. Compared to peer developed democracies, the US government is already investing very little in early childhood education.
Even so, the trump is alleged Weighing options In order to have more married heterosexual couples, the idea supported by close advisors such as JD Vance, Vice President, Elon Musk and the Movement “Pro-natalist” movement.
Kohler said suspicion of relatively modest suggestions would change fertility rate.
“If he really wants to make deep stabilization or fertility, someone would have to do something very significant,” he said.
Challenges are a family’s face, he said, “they are just different orders of policies that discussed the current administration.”
The report also did not deal with the influence of the Banca abortion at birth rates. The Supreme Court revoked the national right of abortion in 2022. years. Since then, a dozen states brought total abortion prohibitions, mainly in the south and the Midwest.
There is Some research To suggest that the birth rates and mortality in the countries with a ban more than expected, even as tens of thousands of women are traveling on state lines in an effort to terminate pregnancy.
