latest report shows the birth rate remained low into 2015. Teenage pregnancy has been on going decline since 2007. Dropping by close to 10 percent annually. By comparison, in 2004-2007, the teen birth rate went up slightly. The birth rate among women aged 20-24 has also been declining steadily since 2007 with no signs of slowing down. The birth rate among the 20-24 age bracket was relatively stable between the mid 1970s up until 2007.
Fertility rates among women in their 30s, 40s and 50s has gone up significantly in the last 5 years. Millennials are sharply increasing their birth rate as the enter their 30s. Overall the birth rate has dropped from 2.1 babies in 2007 to only 1.85 in 2015. That is the lowest since the early 1980s.
Back in 1957, during the peak of the baby boom, almost one in ten teenage girl was pregnant. For women in their early 20s, that figure was over 1/4 and as high as almost 1/3 in some states.
So far the Homelanders have really showed to be a baby bust generation, though not on the caparison of the x generation of course. The Silents were like wise born during a birth trough.
I think the birth rate will start to rise in the 2020s as the core and late Millennials enter their 30s.
