The newborn population in the United States in 2019 was the smallest in 35 years.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s National Center for Health Statistics revealed that the general fertility rate in the U.S. hit a record low, with 58.2 births per 1,000 women aged 15 to 44. That rate, which was down 2% from the year before, is the lowest recorded birthrate since the data were first collected in 1909.
