CNN:
The report, published Wednesday, showed that birth rates declined for nearly all age groups of women younger than 35 but rose for women in their late 30s and early 40s.
From 2017 to 2018, the birth rate dropped 7% among teenagers aged 15 to 19; 4% among women 20 to 24; 3% among women 25 to 29; and 1% among women 30 to 34, according to the report.
The birth rate rose 1% among women aged 35 to 39 and 2% among women 40 to 44. The rate for women 45 to 49, which also includes births to women 50 and older, did not change from 2017 to 2018.
On the other hand, there have been recent studies that indicate children born to older women enjoy better long term academic and professional success.

Ah yes, the rare instance of defending khallow. He is right, though I wouldn't call it incompetence so much as greed. The "population bomb" is marching along just fine and after the last few years I simply can not fathom that the desecration of humanity is anything other than unadulterated greed.
Short sighted ignorant fools given too much power; they think they are better than every other human due to their good fortune and greed. Sadly they are the four horsemen, riding long and hard to bring doom to us all.
Will it be nuclear holocaust caused by a vain fool simply trying to distract from his own follies? Or will it be the long slow boil of stupid humanity destroying the very things which bring them life?

I was employing subtle sarcasm. With a sixteen foot mallet. It's good that my efforts are appreciated.

Yeah, sure, right! Or, you are just an idiot, khallow, incapable of reproduction.
