A new study predicts that the United States will see 300,000 to 500,000 fewer births next year due to the pandemic, which would be about a 10% decline from  2019. In the past, public health crises and severe recessions have each led to declines in births; a combination of the two is likely to result in an even bigger “baby bust.”
