U.S. Fertility Rate Hits Record Low: Should We Be Concerned? | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

New CDC data shows the U.S. fertility rate has dropped to an all-time low — 1.6 children per woman — less than half of what it was during the Baby Boom era of the 1960s. While some experts downplay the trend as part of delayed childbearing, others raise red flags about the long-term impacts. Brad Wilcox, professor at the University of Virginia and fellow at the American Institute for Family Studies, joins to weigh in on the numbers and whether we should be concerned. ------------ EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
