A new CDC report shows the post-pandemic baby boom was more of a blip than an explosion. Data shows U.S. birthrates were flat from 2021 to 2022, but the report does reveal some new trends.
The birthrates for teens and young women hit record lows since peaking in 1991. Data found the rate for 15 to 19-year-olds decreased by about 3%. The CDC reports women aged 30 to 34 accounted for more than 1 million births last year — that's essentially the same number that was reported by that age group in 2021. But women ages 35 to 39 and 40 to 44 both saw increases from the previous year. That 35 to 44 age group, as a whole, is currently seeing the highest birthrate since the 1960s.
Regarding teen birthrates hitting a record low — down 67% since 2007 — Dr. Rosen says we can attribute that to the increase in long-acting reversible contraception.
