Reply To: Women Entering the Workforce and the Calamitous Declining Fertility Rate Effect

Birth rate in US: 65 per 1000 women/year in 2001, decreased to 59 in 2018
but look at maternal age:
15-19: decreased from 45 to 18
20-30: decreased from 110 to 83
30-40: increased from 65 to 76
40+ to increased from 9 to 13

2) later births
