US EditionUS fertility rate dropped to another record low in 2025
Teen and younger-woman births drove the decline, even as fertility rose for women 30 and older, CDC data showed.
- On Thursday, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported the United States fertility rate fell to a record low in 2025, with about 3.6 million babies born at about 53 births per 1,000 women of reproductive age.
- Researcher Gemmill described the decline as a "huge social change," attributing it to a highly competitive world where many future parents feel parenting requires more time and money than 20 years ago.
- While birth rates ticked up among women 30 and older between 2024 and 2025, sharper declines among those younger than 30 more than offset those increases.
- Fewer younger Americans means fewer workers exist to pay into Social Security, which supports more than 70 million retirees, while trustees expect the rate will "recover relatively slowly from current low levels.
