U.S. births bumped up last year, but the number of babies born was still lower than before the COVID-19 pandemic.
Over the last three decades, birthrates have declined for women in their 20s and jumped for women in their late 30s and early 40s.The report is based on a review of nearly all birth certificates issued last year.—Nearly 3.7 million births were reported last year, up from roughly 3.6 million recorded in 2020.
—Birthrates rose 1% for Latino women and 3% for white women. But they fell 1% for Asian women, 3% for Black women, and 4% Native American and Alaska Native women. That may reflect the pandemic’s harsher impact on the health and lives of some racial groups, experts said.There’s a good reason the birthrate is declining in California and the U.S.. We’ve made parenthood way harder than it should be.
