As declining birth rates transform the West, the global debate on marriage and the family takes on greater urgency ahead of a meeting in Rome in October, convened by Pope Leo XIV.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

New data highlight this trend: births in the United States fell by 1% in 2025, to around 3.6 million, while fertility rates in Europe remain well below generation replacement levels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pope Leo XIV summoned the presidents of bishops' conferences throughout the world to meet in Rome<\/a> to renew and deepen the Church's debate on marriage and the family in light of \u2018Amoris Laetitia\u2019.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As in much of the Western world, fewer and fewer people are marrying and having fewer children, Catholic experts say it is an urgent issue to address, and the Church<\/a>, especially parishes, have a role to play.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Birth rates decline drastically<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

According to the April report from the National Center for Health Statistics, released as part of the National Vital Statistics System Quarterly Rapid Release Interim Estimates, the number of births in the United States in 2025 was approximately 3.61 million, down 1% from 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The total fertility rate was 53.1 births per 1,000 women aged 15-44, a decrease of 1% from 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the European Union, almost twice as many children were born in 2024 as six decades ago, with 3.55 million births in the EU in 2024. The crude birth rate, or the number of live births per 1,000 people, in the EU in 2024 was 7.9, while in 2000 it was 10.5, in 1985 12.8, and in 1970 16.4. In 54 years, 8.5 percent less.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the United States, the total fertility rate remains around 1.6 births per woman, while in much of Europe it is around 1.3, Demographers point out that, in addition to declining family size, an increasing percentage of adults are childless.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00abHannah's Children. Women Quietly Defying the Birth Shortage,\u00bb is the latest book by Catherine Ruth Pakaluk, whose story you can check out at pakaluk.com (@pakaluk.com)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Fertility decline goes beyond financial explanations<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Catherine Pakaluk, an economist and professor at The Catholic University of America and executive director of the James Cardinal Gibbons Institute for Human Ecology, has told OSV News that understanding the current fertility decline requires going beyond financial explanations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe most important change may be structural: we have quietly dismantled the contexts in which those reasons once flourished naturally,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFor most of human history, children arrived within a network of community, extended family and shared expectations,\u201d he explained. \u201cThe desire to have a child did not need an individual justification; it was intrinsically tied to the way life was lived.\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Technological and cultural changes: utilitarian logic<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As he explained, technological and cultural changes altered that framework. \u201cWhen contraception broke the natural link between sexual union and children, it not only expanded individual freedom of choice, but also revealed a utilitarian logic that had always been latent,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs soon as couples have to plan with children in mind instead of planning in spite of them, an unclear costing system creeps into the most intimate decision a family can face.\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cRejecting the idea that money comes first and family comes second would be refreshing to young people who may never have heard anything else,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The value of children is future, and largely invisible.<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In this sense, he added, \u201cchildren hardly appear on the balance sheet, because their value is future and largely invisible\u201d. Catherine Pakaluk<\/a> assures that indecision about parenthood is widespread and should not be ignored. \u201cI take that indecision seriously; it's not just selfishness or confusion,\u201d he said. \u201cMany people sincerely want children and find they can't achieve it.\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Paralysis in the face of commitment<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

He pointed to economic pressures, such as housing costs and job instability, but said they do not fully explain the trend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat I see in the data - and in my students - is more of a paralysis about commitment itself,\u201d he said. \u201cWe've developed a cultural ideal of adulthood where you're constantly self-defining, keeping options open and putting off the final decision.\u201d Children, he added, challenge that model. \u201cThey irreversibly transform you. They make demands you can't escape.\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eberstadt: reaching middle age without having cared for a child<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Mary Eberstadt, Catholic author of, among other works, \u2018Primal Screams,\u2019 social researcher, essayist and novelist, also pointed to cultural factors. \u201cAmerica used to be much poorer than it is today,\u201d she told OSV News. \u201cSo there's something else influencing the move away from marriage and family.\u201d He identified what he described as a loss of lived experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMany young women reach midlife without ever having cared for a child, because they had no experience with siblings or caring for children at a time when fewer and fewer were being born,\u201d she said. \u201cCaring for a baby is not scary for someone who has been doing it for years. Having to do it without the benefit of experience greatly increases anxiety about motherhood.\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Public policies alone will not reverse the trend.<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Eberstadt also pointed to the role of social imitation. \u201cA second cause is that human behavior, as Ren\u00e9 Girard rightly described, is mimetic,\u201d he said. \u201cA world in which fewer people know people who are married, have children, or become engaged in their twenties, is a world in which we can expect the same tendencies to repeat themselves.\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pornography affects relationships and families<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

He added that pornography is another factor affecting relationships and family formation. \u201cThis force is so destructive that it seems unlikely that it can be remedied without a religious awakening, because the secular world not only offers no answers to the destruction of romance that pornography causes, but does not even consider it a problem,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kugler: broad family support needed<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In Europe, where birth rates have remained below replacement level since the 1970s, Gudrun Kugler, a member of the Austrian Parliament and vice president of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe, says that public policies alone have failed to reverse this trend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBroad family support - through tax breaks, transfers and in-kind benefits - is fair and necessary,\u201d he told OSV News. She warned that, in some cases, policies may even incentivize delay, which can become a decisive obstacle. In Europe, the average age at first birth is around 30.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cStatistics suggest that if someone hasn't had children by that age, the probability of ever having children drops below 50 %.\u201d As a result, he said, \u201cnot only do we have very few children, but we also have very few people having children.\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Demographic decline: a generation grows up without siblings<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\u201cToday, having children carries relatively little social prestige,\u201d said Kugler, a mother of four. \u201cThe desire for status is a fundamental human trait, deeply ingrained in our social nature.\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Austrian politician, an advocate of the role of the family, also pointed to the broader social consequences of demographic decline, echoing Eberstadt's concern that the entire generation has grown up without siblings, which has additional social consequences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are getting used to empty streets, closed stores and the absence of children's laughter, often without realizing these changes,\u201d Kugler said. \u201cUltimately, this raises a deeper question about purpose and meaning: what's it all for - what's the point of great accomplishments if there's no one to share the joy with?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe risk is not just demographic.\u201d<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Pakaluk, a mother of eight, pointed to the profound cultural consequences of this trend. \u201cWhen fewer people experience it intensely, something affects the morale of society. We become less prone to the generosity that an engaged community requires. The risk is not just demographic; ultimately, it is a risk to our capacity for solidarity!\" she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The three experts, who are Catholic, pointed in different ways to the need for a broader cultural reflection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The meaning of freedom: children, the supreme commitment<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Pakaluk said that reconsidering the meaning of freedom can be part of that process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe dominant cultural narrative views freedom as the ultimate preservation of choice,\u201d he said. \u201cAccording to this perspective, every commitment involves a cost, and children represent the ultimate commitment. However, the older tradition - philosophical and theological - understood freedom as the ability to give oneself fully to what is truly good. That is a freedom that grows through commitment, not in spite of it,\u201d Pakaluk told OSV News.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn practice, this means recovering contexts where the desire to have children can be recognized and respected, where \u2018I want to start a family\u2019 is not considered a lack of ambition or a withdrawal from the world. It means supportive communities, not just political ones,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Western culture, children are seen as a burden, not as a gift or a blessing.<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Kugler emphasized the importance of recognition and meaning. \u201cPeople decide to have children when they have a compelling reason to do so, and recognition is a more powerful motivator than a marginal increase in state support.\u201d He added: \u201cIn Western culture, children are seen as a burden, not a gift or a blessing. Instead of \u2018just loving them,\u2019 we worry too much about too many secondary things.\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eberstadt, who is also a mother of four, emphasized the role of religious communities in responding to current trends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Parishes can help in family formation<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe Church, and especially parishes, can help with family formation at the community level,\u201d he said, suggesting practical support such as sending meals and cooperation between families for child care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pakaluk added, \u201cMany people who delayed or gave up parenthood didn't get the freedom they expected; they suffered another kind of loss,\u201d he said. \u201cThat honest conversation, neither moralistic nor sentimental, can be the starting point for renewal.\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
