United States: Dramatic Decline in Birthrate

The decline in America's birthrate is dramatic, and profound for society.

The National Center for Health Statistics reported a few weeks ago that the number of babies born in the U.S. last year fell to a 32-year low.

Meantime, the general fertility rate--defined as the number of births per 1,000 women aged 15 to 44--fell to the lowest level since the start of federal record-keeping. ---
