According to sobering data published by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the birth rate in the United States has plummeted to a new low.
According to figures, fewer than 3.6 million babies were born in the U.S. last year, the lowest number for almost 45 years and the lowest fertility rate since records began.
The CDC analyzed the 2023 data and found that the birth rate was down 2 percent from the previous year.
However, while It increased significantly in 2021 due to covid lockdowns, the numbers later reverted to a downward trend seen every year before the pandemic.
The CDC’s Brady Hamilton, one of the report’s authors, stated:
“Last year, the difference was very small. This year, it’s something on the order of 74,000 (fewer births) or thereabouts. So it’s fairly large.”
According to data, around 3.6 million babies were born in the U.S. in 2023, translating to 54.4 live births for every 1,000 females age 15 to 44m.
The new figures mean there has been a total of 1,616.5 births per 1,000 women in the U.S., a total fertility rate of 1.6 children per woman.
The fertility rate needed to maintain the population is 2.1 children for every woman.
However, that number has been lower since 1971.
In 1960, the U.S. total fertility rate was 3.65 births per woman.
While this is bad news for humanity, those pushing the Climate Change agenda over at the WEF think it’s a good thing.
As reported last year, Oxford Professor Sarah Harper, who Global Agenda Council on Ageing Societies of the World Economic Forum (WEF), claims the declines in fertility and the prospect of a population collapse is “good for the planet.”
Once a “right-wing conspiracy,” de-population is now being acknowledged by news outlets like The Telegraph.
Prof Harper told the Telegraph:
“I think it’s a good thing that the high-income, high-consuming countries of the world are reducing the number of children that they’re having. I’m quite positive about that.”
