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.

    It is what this site was created for in 2014. It is what the community chose to have as their topics for discussion during 2014 and 2015. It is not a general discussion site but a news aggregation site for STEM. The addition of political stories was introduce during the run up to the 2016 elections because many of the 'promises' that were being made had an impact on STEM and related topics. If you have come to the wrong site you are free to leave and find another more suited to your own interests.

    I would add that the community grew out of Slashdot, but even Slashdot from its beginning comprised such stories on occasion because it's "Stuff That Matters." This story is not even a stretch because it's demography, which is a discipline that uses statistics and numbers and modeling and everything and underpins a huge amount of the government policy surrounding the construction of roads, power lines, police stations, and everything else that most people take for granted.
