| Subject: Thank the statists: U.S. birth rate in 2020 saw largest decline in almost 50 years, CDC says Thu May 06, 2021 6:39 pm | |
| Birth and fertility rates in the United States declined again last year, data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention showed Wednesday -- with births down 4% to the lowest level in more than 40 years.
The total and general fertility rates in 2020 also declined 4% from 2019 to record lows. The report said at the current level -- known as "below replacement" -- there are more people dying every day than are being born.
The decline from 2019 to 2020 is the largest single-year decrease in nearly 50 years.
The U.S. birth rate last year was down to about 56 births per 1,000 women of child-bearing age, which is the lowest rate on record.
