Demographic News, from Stefan Jovanovich
According to the CDC, the U.S. population's growth rate is undergoing a dramatic decline.
The teenage birth rate - which, in the past, has been the leading indicator for overall population change - has fallen in half.
In 2007 births per 1000 females aged 15-19 in 2007 were 41.5; for 2015 the number was 22.3.
