Current Population Survey, Fertility Supplement

OMB 0607-0610 · DOC/CENSUS.

OMB 0607-0610

The Census Bureau plans to request clearance from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for the collection of data concerning the Fertility Supplement to be conducted in conjunction with the June Current Population Survey (CPS). The Census Bureau sponsors the supplement questions, which were previously collected in June 2022, and have been asked periodically since 1971. The current clearance expired May 30, 2023. This survey provides information used mainly by government and private analysts to project future population growth, to analyze child spacing, and to aid policymakers and private analysts in their decisions affected by changes in family size and composition. Past studies have discovered noticeable changes in the patterns of fertility rates and the timing of the first birth. Potential needs for government assistance, such as aid to families with dependent children, child care, and maternal health care for single parent households, can be estimated using CPS characteristics matched with fertility data.
