US Birth Rates, by the numbers

An interesting, data-based explanation for why the US birth rate has declined:

This is a heated topic, for sure, and one on which many people have an opinion. I think it's interesting because the article really shows birth rate as a systemic issue.

  1. Devastating article, but great find. It really relates to some of the articles this week dealing with analytics and potential factors being used in hiring.

  2. My wife unfortunately experienced something similar when returning from maternity leave. Who knows if it was related to the pregnancy, but it added horrible stress to an already stressful but joyous time.
