| thirties are the new twenties: US births by maternal age group |
I was captivated by an image that only showed the lower portion of this graph - i.e. the portion that shows that the number of births to women under 20 is now lower than the number of births to women over 40. That seemed a little alarming, so I went and dug up the full graph. Those two groups (under 20 and over 40) contribute only a small portion of all U. S. births. 25 seems to be most popular age so I am reassured.
The ages 18 to 35 are the prime years to have kids.
ReplyDeleteMom had me at 40, both she and Dad were in the Service.
I started my family (4 kids) to 25.)
AT 25, sorry.
