U.S. Fertility Rate Hits Historic Low, Continuing Decline

Imagine that in the past, a mom in the U.S. might have had three kids.

But now, women are having fewer babies than ever, with the average being less than two.

This is happening all over the country, even in places where families are usually large.

Experts are trying to figure out why, as it impacts things like the number of workers and future growth.

Changes in women's choices, like having kids later, play a big part in this trend.

It's a big change, and people are studying what it means for the future.
