- Abstract
The article provides information and facts about the increasing fertility rate in the U.S. The total fertility rate increased from 1.84 to 2.01 lifetime births per woman between 1986 and 1989 in the U.S. The analysis of recently released data by the National Center of Health Statistics reveals that there was a rise in birthrates between 1986 and 1989 in all age groups. The boom in the U.S. fertility rates during the late 1980s cannot by attributed only to births among the older couples where childbearing was delayed.
