Researchers say the pandemic likely played a major role in the last few years for people deciding whether to have a baby.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says nearly 3.7 million births were registered in the United States that year. That is about 50,000 more than in 2020.
The findings are a major reversal from previous years, which saw birth rates steadily dropping, but even with the small uptick, the number of babies born was still far below pre-pandemic levels. The U.S. fertility rate was still below replacement in 2021, meaning there are not enough births for a generation to replace itself as people die.
