In 2023, U.S. births continued their decline, with just under 3.6 million babies born, marking a decrease of about 76,000 from the previous year, data shows.
U.S. births were slipping for more than a decade before COVID-19 hit, then dropped 4% from 2019 to 2020. They ticked up for two straight years after that, an increase experts attributed, in part, to pregnancies that couples had put off amid the pandemic's early days.
