History

Answer:

just slightly below the replacement population rate.

Explanation:

According to recent numbers, women in the United States aren't having enough babies. The replacement population rate, that is, the number of children a woman needs to have in order to keep the population the same, is 2.1. However, the latest data from the Center for Disease Control and Prevention shows that the fertility rate in the US now stands at 1.72 children per woman, just slightly below the replacement population rate. The US rate had been a little under 2.1 since 1971, but in the last decade, it has fallen even more dramatically. The reasons for this are a cause for debate, but generally speaking, it is usually argued that it is a side effect of more and more women joining the workforce, thus having less time and desire to raise a family, and a lower number of teen pregnancies. Nevertheless, population in the United States keeps growing despite the low fertility rate thanks to immigration from other countries.
