America isn’t making enough babies, and we haven’t for years.

Since 2007, the number of babies born in the U.S. has fallen almost every year, and in 2023, the birthrate hit its lowest level ever. The total fertility rate fell 2% last year, down to 1.62 babies per woman, 20% lower than 15 years ago.
