In 2023, the United States recorded a significant decline in birth rates, with only 3.59 million babies born according to CDC provisional statistics, marking the lowest one-year tally since 1979. This decline continues a trend of decreasing fertility rates, which have now fallen to an all-time low of 1.62 births per woman, the lowest level in a century. Despite this, Social Security actuaries project an increase in birth rates to 1.9 children per woman by 2040. The reduction in birth rates has been linked to various factors, including economic pressures and societal shifts away from traditional family structures.
The US birth rate has fallen to 1.6, its lowest level in a century. A level of 2.1 is necessary for the population to remain constant, and the fact that the US accepts large amounts of immigration, both legal and illegal, is the only factor increasing the population. https://t.co/f57ljpl1j6
3.59 million babies were born in the US in 2023. Over 3.2 million illegals were encountered at our borders in 2023. There are likely hundreds of thousands more illegals who entered our country that weren’t encountered. They are literally replacing us. https://t.co/kCx6KodEtP
More than 3.2 million illegals came into the US during 2023 and that’s just the # that CBP "encountered" so it’s possible more illegals came into the US during 2023 than babies were born to American citizens. We can’t say for sure but for that to be a question is nuts. https://t.co/cMJmOeEEYm
3.59 million babies were born in the US in 2023, the fewest since 1979. https://t.co/bDej8FXVpi https://t.co/8KoSc0zx2l
This speech is misguided in many ways, but it's worth noting that the reason behind the fact he mentions is that Americans are having fewer children than ever. If fertility had never fallen below replacement, we wouldn't be near a record of the immigrant share of the population. https://t.co/YZRD4sUT2p
The total Fertility Rate in the US moved down to 1.62 births per woman in 2023, an all-time low. https://t.co/dAclRGpWdF
The Social Security actuaries are still bullish on the idea that US women are going to start having more babies than they've been having: "Birth rates are assumed to increase from recent very low levels to an ultimate level of 1.9 children per woman for 2040 and thereafter."…
U.S. fertility rates have fallen to to 1.617 births per woman, the lowest level in a century, per CNN and the CDC.
A little under 3.6 million babies were born in 2023, according to provisional statistics released by @CDCgov . That’s about 76,000 fewer than the year before and the lowest one-year tally since 1979. https://t.co/Hd3mdUmu3p (via @AP)
Some folks say it's simple: people aren't starting families because they can't afford it. It's not simple. You cannot discuss the Baby Bust or retreat from marriage without addressing our retreat from religion. Come to this talk on Thursday at Heritage. https://t.co/lk3NG1u0sg
