New Report: Americans Still Want 2 or More Children but 1 Million Births Postponed/Foregone Since Recession Began: Dr. Sam Sturgeon finds that the ideal family size for Americans of childbearing age (18-46) rose to 2.66 in 2010, even as the U.S. total fertility rate fell to 1.91 children per woman in 2010. In 2007, the total fertility rate was 2.13. According to Sturgeon’s analysis, parents considering a second, third, or fourth child have been particularly likely to avoid having a child since the recession began in December of 2007.
