US fertility rate dropped to another record low in 2025
Teen and younger-woman births drove the decline, even as fertility rose for women 30 and older, CDC data showed.
- On Thursday, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported the United States fertility rate fell to a record low in 2025, with about 3.6 million babies born at about 53 births per 1,000 women of reproductive age.

- Fewer younger Americans means fewer workers exist to pay into Social Security, which supports more than 70 million retirees, while trustees expect the rate will "recover relatively slowly from current low levels.
