In recent years, birth rates in the United States have reached some of the lowest points in the nation's history. Young people now have fewer children than previous generations and some decide not to have children at all. Reasons why fewer women are deciding to become pregnant are complicated but include the cost of raising a family, concern over access to reproductive health care, and the lack of rights for working parents. There are also fewer unintended pregnancies than there were in the past with education and contraction playing a large role in this change. In 2022, around 65 percent of sexually active women in the United States stated they used contraception in the past year, with 61 percent reporting that preventing pregnancy was the only reason they used contraception.
