There are now only 59.6 births per 1,000 women in the US, the lowest rate ever recorded in the United States. The number of births slightly exceeds the number of deaths so the population will grow slightly without considering migration. There are both positive and negative aspects of a slower growing population.OK ray then how about nobody in america has kids except if they make at least 500 thousand dollars per year.
Then you would complain our military is shrinking because people aren't having enough kids. I would highly disagree and perhaps ahuge birthrate decline for many years would be the way to go. That means a lot more low paying jobs unfilled which to my retired viewpoint, and yes I collect social security...happily. With businesses struggling to find workers we all win.
