Alabama faces a ‘demographic cliff’ as deaths surpass births
Alabama faces a ‘demographic cliff’ as deaths surpass births
As to why fewer people are being born, there are several suggested reasons by researchers - women are marrying later in life, and couples are choosing career over childrearing in their 20s, meaning fewer children can be born. The cost of raising a child can be a factor for low-income families, while more affluent people may opt to spend their time and money on themselves. Fewer teenagers are reporting having sex. Alabama is no longer a primarily agrarian economy, where big families tend to split the farm work.

Make a more equal society. Not only will you help solve the falling birthrate issue, you’ll have happier and more productive people overall. Stop culture-war bullshit.
