The latest data from the CDC reveals a 1% increase in the number of births in the US, driven largely by the growing trend of motherhood among women over 40. This shift marks a historic moment, as for the first time, more babies were born to women over 40 than to teenage mothers. The rise in births is particularly notable among Hispanic and Asian communities. Despite this uptick, the overall fertility rate remains near record lows, prompting discussions on demographic trends and the implications for future population growth.
