"The city's birth rate hit a 25-year low in 2005, even as Mayor Bloomberg is projecting a population spike of 1 million people by the year 2030."
'The city's newest release of vital statistics — an annual compendium of deaths, births, disease, and accidents — shows that 122,725 babies were born in New York City in 2005, or 1,374 fewer than in 2004."
"The health department is also attributing the drop to the dramatic decline in the number of girls younger than age 20 having babies."
Im glad to see there are less women under 20 having kids these days, thought these stats are just for New York and I see plenty of young girls with baby strollers. New York is an expensive city as well and maybe these girls understand they can afford kids right now...
