U.S. Birth Rate Trends: Patterns, Drivers, and Implications for American Families

Please join us on Wednesday, December 10, 3:30 to 4:30 p.m. in 2075 Rayburn House Office Building for ice cream and engaging presentations about U.S. fertility trends and related policies.

An expert panel of leading social scientists will discuss national and international birth rate trends and evidence on the effects of policy incentives, such as tax credits and paid family leave, in impacting an individual’s decision to start a family. The discussion is particularly timely given the Trump Administration’s interest in encouraging higher birth rates nationwide.
