What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

New data from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention shows the U.S. fertility rate reached a record low, standing at approximately 53 births per 1,000 women aged 15-44 last year, down from 54 the previous year. While birth rates fell among women up to age 29, they increased for women aged 30-44. Donald Trump and Elon Musk are collaborating on initiatives aimed at reversing this trend.

The low fertility rate reflects a broader demographic trend in the U.S. Donald Trump previously considered offering $5,000 “baby bonuses” to new mothers to spur a baby boom. Elon Musk has expressed concern that declining fertility rates could lead to the “end of civilization”.
