U.S. fertility rate just hit a historic low. demographers freakout

[boutons_deux]

The United States is in the midst of what some worry is a baby crisis.

The number of women giving birth has been declining for years and just hit a historic low.

If the trend continues — and experts disagree on whether it will — the country could face economic and cultural turmoil.

According to provisional 2016 population data released by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on Friday, the number of births fell 1 percent from a year earlier, bringing the general fertility rate to 62.0 births per 1,000 women ages 15 to 44.

The trend is being driven by a decline in birthrates for teens and 20-somethings.

The birthrate for women in their 30s and 40s increased — but not enough to make up for the lower numbers in their younger peers.

A country's birthrate is among the most important measures of demographic health.

The number needs to be within a certain range, called the “replacement level,” to keep a population stable so that it neither grows nor shrinks.

If too low, there's a danger that we wouldn't be able to replace the aging workforce and have enough tax revenue to keep the economy stable.

Demographics is just another way America is ed and un able.

and the oligarchy blocks all state and Fed attempts paid and long-term maternal (paternal) leave, and makes the student debt problem worse, making sure indebted students are not attractive marriage partners, can't buy houses, cars, start families.

Well, this happens when same sex couples hook up. Kinda hard to make a kid when two dudes or two females have sex with each other.

Women in their teens/early 20's don't need to be popping out kids anyway. They don't even really know who they are yet...what business do they have trying to raise another person?

lol is there anything these gots wont blame on millennials?

yeah that must be it, it couldnt be that millennials know about birth control and are less likely to have children because they are not financially able to these days, you dumb mother er

[Adam Lambert]

theres not even enough good jobs out there for college educated millennials but now the economy is at risk because theyre not having enough kids?

god damn, boomers cannot die fast enough.

the lack of good jobs is not the fault of millennials, but the oligarchical Capitalists' War on Labor, which they have won, but keep their weapons blaring.

and there plenty your hated boomers who have been and are still screwed by the oligarchy.

And in regards to the topic at hand; this is a good thing. These kids today are just abhorrently stupid thanks to the great stripping away of education in public education, this isn't aimed at Millennials, this is just statistical fact and it's something they can actually say isn't their faults and be 100% right.

I'm guessing the investigations go on Trump's entire term and it won't come out there was nothing there until he's out of office.

While blaming immigration at the same time. It's amusing I guess but its not good for our society.
