America's Birth Rate DeclineCauses and Consequences

  • Summary



  • In the latest episode of Lest We Forget Historical, host Lillian Cauldwell delves into the significant decline in birth rates among American women. Potential vice presidential candidate J.D. Vance recently highlighted this issue, stating, "If your society is not having enough children to replace itself, that is a profoundly dangerous and destabilizing thing." But this begs the question: dangerous for whom? The implications are far-reaching, cutting across political lines.

    The reality is that American families are choosing to have fewer children. However, according to a January 2024 report by the Congressional Budget Office, immigration is expected to sustain or even boost population levels through 2054, despite the ongoing drop in the U.S. fertility rate.
