    The two reasons Americans arenrCOt having babies, according to data

    An analysis of where Americans keep having babies reveals what works

    The Trump administration wants an American baby boom, but so far this
    ambition has been a bit of a bust. The much-hyped baby bonus rCo a proposal
    to give mothers $5,000 after they give birth rCo ended up becoming a restrictive investment account where funds are inaccessible until
    children reach 18 years old. Meanwhile, TrumprCOs campaign promise to
    mandate IVF care appears to be sidelined.

    The latest data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
    showed that the United States reached its lowest fertility rate in
    history in 2024: Every American woman is now estimated to have 1.6
    children during their lifetime, much lower than the 2.1 rate needed to
    keep population at its current level without immigration.
