Calculated Risk: U.S. Births decline in 2009

U.S. births fell to 4.136 million in 2009 from 4.247 million in 2008, representing a 4.2% decline from the 2007 peak and the second consecutive year of decrease. The post attributes the decline to economic stress from the Great Recession, noting that families facing financial hardship tend to delay childbearing, and draws a historical parallel to the 1920s when births began falling years before the Great Depression. While acknowledging that demographic factors also influence birth rates, the author argues that economic distress is a significant driver of fertility decline and expects continued drops through 2010, though not as severe as those experienced during the Depression era.

I can see you've provided a list of article headlines and snippets from a developer blog, but without the full article text, I can only see titles and partial descriptions.

Once you share that, I'll be happy to write a concise two or three sentence summary that captures the actual argument or findings.
