Births in the US have dropped to their lowest rate in 30 years, marking a cultural shift as women delay motherhood, experts say.
Some 3.85 million babies were born in the US in 2017, the fewest since 1987, as births among women in their teens and 20s decreased.
Both the birth rate - the number of births per thousand - and fertility - a lifetime average forecast - fell.
Declining birth rates are common as countries become more developed.
The US fertility rate is lower than the UK's but the US still has a higher fertility rate than many other countries.
While births decreased among younger women in the US last year, it rose in women aged between 40 and 44.
Donna Strobino of Johns Hopkins University put the change down to women choosing to delay motherhood in favour of work.
She told AFP news agency: "Women are becoming more educated, they are in the workforce, they are pursuing their careers.
"And in the absence of policies that really help women who are working to really take some time off post-partum you are probably going to see a continuation of this delay."
The US is the only developed nation in the world that does not provide some type of national paid family leave plan to new parents.
The rate has been dropped since the post-World War Two "baby boomer" generation was born, and suffered another dip in the recession that started in 2008.
It could mean there are fewer young people in the workforce in the future, at the same time as life spans increase and more elderly people need care and resources into later life.
But it does not mean the population will shrink. It may grow at a slower rate, but there will continue to be more and more people in the US.
William Frey of the Brookings Institute called for some perspective on the figures.
"The country isn't going to run out of people," he said.
US birth rates drop to lowest since 1987
Such is life in the west. On the bright side the only people having kids are Mormons
America is becoming a potato farm
Daddy has ghey face
Good, the last thing the world needs is more burgerstanis.
it is much worse to have overpopulated cities straining at the edges and exploding from cultural tension because public services can't cope with swarms of people that are breeding like insects. Why do you think third world countries stay poor despite their high birth rate?
Needing a high birth rate indicates your country has serious problems, like high infant mortality or very poor medical treatment. It's merely a statistic propaganda tool to justify mass immigration so that employers and corporations can justify wage compression and higher profit margins.
They'll just import more shitskins. There is no escaping burgerstan.
I was born in 1987 :)
Filthy burger milfophiles and their love for expired cunts.
Because of (((MILF))) porn
Must be all those school teachers getting knocked up by their students.
Was watching news today and come up a topic that many rosties in mousel Iraq doesn't find men. One of the rosties was saying that men are marrying young girls and early marriage is common. Rosties BTFO in Iraq. Old hags can't compete with young girls that's why they ban it in western world.
US birth rates drop to lowest since 1987 in the demographic known as "whites"
ftfy
I'll gladly become mormon if I can wife up both of those girls
Amen
Oh, that's not a bright side. Polygamy is the least offensive aspect of their sinister, bizarre, heretical cult.
Hahahahahaha!!!! You just made me laugh Sprite™ out of my nose
If I could get my hands on these two, I can guarantee I would increase the pregnancy rate in America.
Uh oh, girls….
Look what the Old Clock on the wall is telling us
...
Goddamn right. Why the fuck did Western guys only start to realize this recently?
The problem is women thinking their career is more important than a family.
We need to find sources of women admitting that setting the age of consent high is a ploy to restrict men's dating options so they'll be forced to get with roasties or be alone and make all of it into a single giant compilation of feminist fail.
LOL @ you having options
HAHAHAHA
(You keep trying to come up with scapegoats to point your finger at, but the simple fact remains: YOU'RE the problem)
YOU are the reason no woman or teenage girl is interested in fucking you
Nope… Not really…..
There are millions and millions of girls out there right now spreading their legs and letting guys do whatever the fuck they want to them…..
'women choosing careers' has absolutely nothing to do with YOU being a douchebag
BREAKING NEWS !!!
women aren't 'obligated' to fuck you.
It's not their fault if you're not the type of person if they're interested in…
It's not their fault if you can't figure out how to make yourself more interesting to them…
It has nothing to do with money, or how tall you are, or the size of your dick, or what kind of car you drive…
If you're a douchebag, they're not interested… Too fucking bad…
Too fucking bad
btw
If you're the type of person who actually uses words like 'rostie' and 'chad' and 'stacey' and 'normie', then you've got a 0% chance of attracting a female…
…….. Using those words in your everyday vocabulary prove that you are a massive fucking douchebag, that you have no experience with women, and that your mindset is the exact type of psychology women avoid like the plague
If you actually use those words in a conversation, that guarantees you also sit around playing video games, masturbating, watching anime, and going into imageboards seeking false reassurance from other similarly sexually failed adult males….
Your biggest problem is YOU, and your DECISION to BEHAVE like a fucking failure
Fuck off butthurt roastie/nu-male. If you don't want to fuck that's fine. Putting laws to make girls consent is no by default isn't. I feel super happy when roasties become old hags and no one wants to touch them. Serves them right. Also don't post 3 comments back to back.
(this is the part where you guys start trying to convince me you're not interested in having a woman in your life, because you 'hate women')
….. But you watch pornography, so that disproves your bullshit theory….
….. Or… There's always the possibility You're simply a homosexual…
So which one is it? You can't have it both ways…
Are you 'heterosexual but you hate women' (lol) or are you a fucking homosexual faggot?….
So you're admitting that you're a homosexual?…..
See ?………………
I knew that you were a homosexual……
And regarding posting three comments in a row:
Thank you for the advice and I think I will heed it….
In fact, I think I'm going to post a 13 comments in a row
Because by posting three comments in a row, I don't think I'm able to effectively convey the message that I want you to understand…
That's why I have decided to change my modus operandi, and expand my efficacy
I think 13 comments in a row would be much more complete and thorough
You made all this original content for 1 thread. This is quality autism
I already knew that you were a latent homosexual, but when you expressed a sadistic pleasure at 'watching women become unhappy', I realized that I was mistaken about you being a latent homosexual….
There's nothing latent about you at all
Your homosexuality is actually quite overt
Great. Young girls are best. Fuck old girls bwahaha.
(I make original content for every thread)
… And 'autism' is another one of those trendy catch phrases that predictable trend-following douchebags always parrot, like lemmings
"Roastie'
'Normie'
'Chad'
'Stacey'
'Autism'
etc etc etc
It shows a decided lack of creativity on your part

Yet at the same time, because rich old men marry multiple wives, the Arab world is full of young, single men with no one to marry and no outlet besides blowing themselves up.
pick one
100% true
if men were given free choice of any age, they all would marry 11-14 year old virgins, not used 20 year old sluts like now. old sluts cannot compete, so (((the government))) outlawed innocent young girls
lol@you attempting to project your frustrated pedophilia on to the entire human race
RE: Arabs being unable to reproduce….
"shukraan"
The following is a list of reasons why women would be attracted to Arab men
low quality bait tbh
Women don't "think" they just do what they are told. The jews and corporations brainwash women to "choose" career so they do
of course they are. women are property, they are fucktoys
if they dont spread legs for us, we can rape them. and we will rape them
it has fully to do with that
10/10 tall rich "douchebag" instantly becomes great guy in women eyes
but if "douchebag" is poor or short, ugly he stays douchebag in women eyes
but The Great Rape project could solve the issue
the guys who have experience with women think the same way we do, they just lie to you to get you fucked. they tell you are cute and hot but they think you are slut and roastie, they just won't admit it
we don't look to have women, we look to fuck women, they are fucktoys. relationships are things that women want, not men
but for men, instead of having stupid relationship with dumb women and get divorced, is better to rape women. we need rape
This is 100% false. Many men with multiple wives aren't rich and in rural areas and some other places. Having multi wives has nothing to do with money but with mindset of people. Also many women with no men if anything marrying single women will hurt roasties more. Take your lies somewhere else.
Pedo buzzword is hoax installed into western men minds to make them fearing going after superior girls.
……..says the sexually failed videogame boy
MEN'S*
not 'men'
MEN'S minds…
'installed into men's minds'
idiot
Don't give shit about grammer or this language. Stay mad roastie. Your best achievement can be a cum dumpster..
ignores all arguments and makes cheap one line argumentum ad personam
this is why women are not allowed when adults (men) speak. women are basically big children
INSTILLED*
not 'installed'
'instilled in men's minds'
idiot
GRAMMAR*
not 'grammer'
'Don't give shit about GRAMMAR or this language.'
idiot
i personally think he made a very valid point. he was illustrating how you guys seem to be full of opinions, and bitter resentment, but the one thing you all lack is actual real-life experience with women. that pretty much negates any 'expertise' you pretend to have.
This, and it is the root cause of enviromental damage too, not that any enviromentalist will openly admit it.
fucc this thread
I've had a good many teenage girls be interested in fucking me, actually. Try again.
On the one hand, there's you saying that. On the other hand, there's literally all of human history and biological science. I wonder which one I should believe.
That was a quality autistic reply,based fam(cool dude)
Wait a minute, I hate to point this out but did Andrew or Jon Jon or whatever he calls himself, a piece of shit, who cares, just make a group of rip off photoshop fantasies about killing a white mormon family and raping the daughters?
You can't make this shit up, and then he proceeds to do a 180 and denounce the very /b/ and /r9k/ virgins who fantasize about doing this too.
Really get's the noggin jogging.
It's the Baby Boomer's golden rule: It's OK when they do it.
I'm collecting your tears, drop by delicious drop
Wew Lad!
Project Much?
Huh? I hope that was just a shitty joke!
Wew roasties are more dumped than ever.
Based.
Based.
White Genocide - it's the Right Thing to do.
HOLY SHIT
Your nose is getting bigger with each post you make, (((Jewnny Neptune)))
high birthrates are preferred to low birthrates
modern medicine has lowered infant mortality greatly, thus leading to evolutionary fuckups, as hitler said in mein kampf, its better to have many deaths with only the best surviving than to have few and make sure that everything born is kept alive at all costs, its better to let nature take hold again as it always does and seperate the wheat from the chaff
99.9% of the posters on this site would not fare well in such a world
HEY CAN SOMEONE DO SOMETHING ABOUT THE DUMB NIGGERS IN BUNKERS UNDER MATHERFIELD AIRFORCE BASE BURNING HOLES IN MY HEAD AND MAKING ME UGLY? THEY FUCKING KILLED THE LAST PEOPLE CONTROLLING IT.!!!

>(((Declining birth rates are common as countries become more developed.)))
Whatever you say, Moshe.
Gotta agree. Everyone's talking about muh advanced country when the reality seems to be more in-line with the declining economy, failure of the school systems and the current state of the geopolitical landscape (While it probably won't happen, many are worried that if they have kids now that they'll end up drafted for war).
But nah, I'm sure it's because robo waifus/husbandos are right around the corner and people don't want kids because it'll cut into their play time.
Abortions on the rise?
Oh well that's too bad. Guess we will need turd world immigration to fix birth rates.
Yeah. That's the only reason. Not the economy. Not the division. Not the wealth disparity. Not the new social pressures shifting manhood away from men onto women. Not the depression epidemic. Not the constant fear of being assaulted tomorrow by a (((migrant))) and knowing nothing you do or say will every be taken seriously because they are (((peace lovers))). Not the dumbing down of the population both intentionally and unintentionally. No. It's women putting off motherhood.
