I am just wondering when the kids and single mothers were not provided with certain benefits, since divorce rate has been already fairly high, the country's birth rate then would decrease very very much since the females would have great burden for raising up kids if without any extra assistance! Hence negative population growth.
That could be ultimately a great damage to the country's core economy system, if not collapsed in 2 or 3 if not 4 or 5 generations!
Just 2 cents!

Current
The United States population growth is at an historical low level as the United States current birth rates are the lowest ever recorded.[28] The low birth rates in the contemporary United States can possibly be ascribed to the recession, which led women to postpone having children and fewer immigrants coming to the US.
The current US birth rates are not high enough to maintain the size of the U.S. population, according to The Economist.[29][30]
