Expects Yuge Games
hopium is a very powerful aphrodisiac
but that peak was in 2007...great recession did a number on the american libido...we have yet to recover
total fertility rate has dropped almost every year since 2007...from 2.120 in 2007 to 1.706 in 2019 to 1.650 in 2022.

Expects Yuge Games
The rate of teenage births declined in 2022, reaching a record low, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said in a Thursday report.
The pace of teen births in the United States has been falling since 2007, according to the CDC, reflecting long-running efforts to increase sex education and access to contraception. The 2022 numbers continue that course, paired with a record low among women in their early 20s and a consistent rise in the birth rate for women 35 and older — all trends that reflect ongoing cultural shifts, experts said.
Though the teen birth rate reached a record low, it decreased by 3 percent from 2021. That modest drop “really stands in contrast to the 8 percent decline that we saw per year for 2007 through 2021,” said Brady E. Hamilton, one of the authors of the CDC report, referring to the average annual decline across those years.
In total, there were fewer births in the United States in 2022 than in 2021, reflecting what Chen said may be a sustained downturn in childbearing in the U.S. and globally.
More births among older women don’t outweigh the declines among younger women, who still account for many more births, the data showed. More than 1.1 million babies were born to women 30 to 34; those 40 to 44 had close to 134,000. A dramatic 12 percent increase was recorded in the number of births by women between 45 and 49, though they accounted for a fraction of total births, with 10,533.
The year’s total number of births remained below pre-pandemic levels and didn’t continue 2021′s post-pandemic rebound, with fewer births recorded in 2022. The CDC called the difference — 3,661,220 recorded last year and 3,664,292 the year before — a “nonsignificant decline.”
Chen said that was unsurprising, noting that researchers never expected a major post-pandemic baby boom and that the country is experiencing economic uncertainty. On the whole, birth rates may enter a sustained decline, she said.
“Long-term, all the signs are pointing to a declining rate in general,” Chen said. “If you look at this globally, fertility is basically declining everywhere.”
