“It’s really remarkable, because it’s the first recession where we see fertility going up rather than down.'

Economic factors, not just lockdown-induced forced proximity, played a key role in last year’s “baby bump,” according to the economists behind a new working paper released earlier this week. Economists from UCLA, Northwestern and Princeton universities found that pandemic trends, such as increased work flexibility, helped push up US birth rates last year to 6.

“For young, professional, high-skilled women in childbearing ages, time is probably the scarcest resource they have.” The 2021 increase in the birth rate followed a sharp drop in 2020. While that decline was initially attributed to behavioral changes spurred by economic uncertainty and job losses caused by the pandemic, it was subsequently attributed to fewer births from mothers born outside the United States, the researchers found.
