The National Vitality Statistics System, a subsidiary of the National Center for Disease Control and Prevention, recently released a report stating that 3.59 million people were born in the United States in 2023, the lowest level since 1979 and a 2% decrease from 2022. The total fertility rate (i.e. the average number of children per woman) in the United States has dropped to around 1.6, a decrease of 2% from the previous year, which is the lowest record since the United States began tracking this data in the 1930s. In recent years, statistical data shows that the overall fertility rate in the United States has shown a steady downward trend, which has raised concerns about the future population structure and economic development of the United States. According to American media analysis, the continuous decline in fertility rates is caused by a series of factors, and long-term low fertility rates may affect social development.
