A nation’s future economic prosperity rests in large part on the size of the next generation, yet not as many American women are having children, and those who do are having fewer. The replacement rate, or the number of children needed to keep a country’s population stable, is 2.1 births per woman; in the U.S. that figure is now 1.6.

Although it’s well-understood that economic prosperity and urbanization lead to lower birth rates, researchers are unsure why birthrates have fallen to such dire levels. Possible explanations include: more women with careers; a lack of affordable childcare; a drop in the marriage rate or later marriage, and fewer eligible men compared to educated women .Women’s participation in the workforce will remain vital to our continued economic prosperity, especially with a smaller population cohort.
