Births in the U.S. rose for the first time in seven years, CDC report finds, suggesting births may be rebounding from the decline seen during the pandemic.
"When it comes to changes in fertility behavior, we're limited," Dr. Brady Hamilton, from the NCHS Division of Vital Statistics and lead author of the report, told ABC News. "That's where you need a survey about what's behind the decision-making process."The report also showed the fertility rate -- the number of live births per 1,000 women between the ages 15 and 44 -- was 56.6. This is up from 56 in 2020 and the first increase since 2014, according to the CDC.
The team looked at birth rates among women aged 25 and older increased while decreasing for those aged 24 and younger. Teenage births have been continuously falling since 2007 by an average of about 7% through last year.

1st increase in births reported in 7 years, CDC findsProvisional data published Tuesday from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's National Center for Health Statistics found there were 3,659,289 babies born in 2021, a 1% increase from 2020. The report did not explain why the number of births increased, but Pew Research Center polls have suggested Americans delayed having babies during the first year of the pandemic due to public health and economic uncertainty, so the rising number could be the result of a rebound. The report also showed the fertility rate -- the number of live births per 1,000 women between the ages 15 and 44 -- was 56.6.
