It is reported that the fertility rate in the United States has dropped to the lowest level in a hundred years. What is the reason for the low fertility rate?

This report by the US government shows that the fertility rate in the United States dropped to the lowest level in a century last year. Because this report did not give the reasons for the decline in fertility rate, it only said that it would be further analyzed in the follow-up, which also caused heated discussion among netizens, who speculated on the reasons for the decline in fertility rate in the United States. According to my guess, the decline of fertility rate in the United States is the result of the interaction of many factors, among which the main reasons are as follows.

1. Unwilling to have children is the trend in the world today. Actually, it's not just in America. At present, the fertility will of most countries on earth is declining. Many young people are reluctant to get married too early and have children. This has led to a downward trend in fertility rates in many countries, such as South Korea, where the fertility rate is extremely low. Last year, South Korea's fertility rate dropped to the lowest level of 0.84, ranking first from the bottom among 198 countries, which may also make South Korea the first.

However, the fertility rate of different races in the United States has declined to varying degrees. The fertility rate of Asians has dropped by 8%, African-Americans and whites by about 4%, and Hispanics by 3%.

Second, the long-term war in the United States The United States is a country that often goes to war. In the history of more than 200 years in the United States, there has been no war for only a dozen years. Frequent wars have caused many casualties, which has led Americans to be reluctant to have children. After all, after giving birth, you may need to go to war when you grow up, which parents don't want to see, so it is understandable that the fertility rate in the United States continues to decline.

Three. Cause of the epidemic Because the United States has been affected by the epidemic in the past two years, many families in the United States have had economic problems. Childbearing is a very expensive thing, which has reduced the willingness of many American families to have children, thus impacting the fertility rate in the United States.

These are the three main reasons why I guess the fertility rate in the United States has declined. I believe there are other reasons. Those who are interested can learn more about it, so I won't go into details this time.
