#birthrate

"The American birthrate has fallen to its lowest rate in history. This has caused consternation in the political class: A falling rate can eventually lead to too few workers to support an aging population. (Immigration, the other element of population change, has fallen under the Trump administration.) Some on the right even see it as a sign of societal crisis.

I wanted to find out who was driving the decline, to better understand how to think about the phenomenon. What I found was surprising: The biggest drops were among the youngest women, who are least likely to want or be able to provide for a baby.'

Where are the joyful #Evangelicals? Now, the #teenage #birthrate is down by 70 percent since 2007. And the #unmarried #birthrate is down by 30 percent. Roger #Severino, vice president for economic and domestic policy at #Heritage, welcomed the decline in unmarried teen births. (Lying; wants slaves.)
Japan's number of births came to 705,809 in 2025, hitting a new record low for the tenth consecutive year, preliminary figures by the health ministry showed Thursday. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2026/02/26/japan/society/japan-birth-record-low/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #japan #society #surveys #birthrate

South Korea’s fertility rate rose for a second consecutive year in 2025, a rare bright spot for a country that has long struggled with the world’s lowest birth rate. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2026/02/25/asia-pacific/society/south-korea-babies-second-year/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #asiapacific #society #southkorea #birthrate #population #demographics
South Korea’s baby bump extends into second year, offering hope

The improvement comes as marriages show signs of recovery after a prolonged slump, supported by incentives designed to ease the financial burden of raising children.

Two births and 27 deaths in one village: Poland's tumbling birthrate

With an average of 1.03 children per woman, Poland has the lowest fertility rate in Europe. Increasing family allowances has not changed that. The exhaustion of the population following the collapse of the 1990s, and then two decades of economic boom, is one of the explanations.

Le Monde

In this edition of Entre Nous, we take a look at France's falling birth rate. We find out why French people are deciding to have fewer – or no – children. We also look at some recent political proposals to reserve this trend and how they have been met with much criticism. Finally, we dive into some of the less popular proposals that politicians, for now, aren't mentioning.
