Meanwhile, births continued to shift to older mothers. Older age groups saw smaller decreases in birth rates, and the birth rate was highest among women ages 30 to 34 – with about 95 births for every 1,000 women in this group in 2023. Women 40 and older were the only group to see an increase in birth rate, although – at less than 13 births for every 1,000 women – it remained lower than any other age group.


I need to figure out how to invest in IVF clinics if this trend continues


Natural birth odds per cycle
25% for those under the age of 30
20% for those aged 30-34
15% for those aged 35-39
5% for those aged 40+

This is at least part of it but definitely doesn't make up for what seems to be a cultural reduction in people wanting kids.

Have 3 close friends all in late 30's about to have their 1st child. Anecdotally I think alot of young people are waiting these days, but naturally even that would lead to less kids b/c there isnt much time to pop out multiple kids.
