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.

Of course, in 1957, what was different is that most of those teenage pregnant women were 18- and 19-year-olds who were married to their high school sweethearts working at the GM factory. That was considered normal that that day and age.

Yep, my grandmother told me she was the last one of her friends to get married and she was 18. Most of her friends married at 16 and 17.  I know there was  a big surge in teenage marriages and pregnancies during the High era. The trend towards early marriage persisted until the time of the oil crisis in the early 70s. Millennials are definitely having to put off marriage in like wise ages.

By that time, another mid-term will have been held, and that should be enough to eradicate the last of the liberals from the House and Senate because we all know the libs don't show up for mid-terms. We will just have another POTUS like Ovomit that gets stymied at every turn. Good Luck with that, Laffin'..................

My mom graduated college in 1951, at the age of 20, and considered herself a spinster because she lacked a ring. However, she married the following year and became a mother in 1953, when the first of four children was born.
