🤱 US births rose last year but still less than before pandemic
US births bumped up last year, but the number of babies born was still lower than before the COVID-19 pandemic. The 1% increase was a bit of a rebound from 2020, the first year of the pandemic, which witnessed the largest one-year drop in the US births in nearly 50 years.
But there were still about 86,000 fewer births last year than in 2019, according to a government report released Tuesday. The US was once among only a few developed countries with a fertility rate that ensured each generation had enough children to replace itself — about 2.1 kids per woman. But it’s been sliding, and in 2020 dropped to about 1.6, the lowest rate on record. It rose slightly last year, to nearly 1.7.
