According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the fertility rate decreased in 2023, following a two-year rebound post-COVID-19. Lead author of the report Brady Hamilton noted a shift towards women in their 30s having more births than women in their 20s.
The teen birth rate hit a record low of 13.2 births per 1,000 females aged 15 to 19, down 79% from the peak in 1991.
