US births in 2022 didn’t return to pre-pandemic levels--data

Thu, 2023-06-01 23:02 — mike kraft

US births in 2022 didn't return to pre-pandemic levels U.S. births were flat last year, as the nation continues to see fewer babies born than it did before the pandemic.

A little under 3.7 million babies were born in the U.S. last year, about 3,000 fewer than the year before. Births to moms 35 and older continued to rise, with the highest rates in that age group since the 1960s. But those gains were offset by record-low birth rates to moms in their teens and early 20s.
