Birth rate; United State; GDP per capita.Abstract
This research aims to use a rigorous quantitative methodology in the form of regression analysis to explore the complex terrain of birth rate drivers in the United States. The primary data source for this study is the National Vital Statistics System (NVSS). It provides extensive and current data on natality and births in the United States from 2000 to 2020 and is processed by SPSS. After accounting for other characteristics, the study indicated that higher GDP per capita and higher urban population significantly negatively affect the birth rate in the United States. This study stresses the significance of considering the impact of money and urbanization on fertility behavior and preferences when designing interventions to help families and children.
