I'm surprised at the fertility rate figures for the US, as I expected to see a downward trend there.
Among lower middle class and immigrants (especially those that are Hispanic), I expect fertility rates to remain higher. However, with the current anti-immigration climate in Washington, I suspect a steep drop off as these groups start to shrink with the decline in immigration to the US.
As you get into upper middle class and higher class families, fertility rates appear low. Two kid families are the norm that I'm seeing in people in my age group (30 years+) and I see a lot of one kid and no kid families too.
