The number of adults in “first -class age” in Illinois took back by 1% from 2020 to 2024, while the rest of the country rose by 2%.
The board has the cause of the declining population of young people to the loss of the population, “outmigration” and the population back Low birth rate.
The governor of Illinois, JB Pritzker, signed a legislation that aimed to make college more affordable and accessible than fleeing the state as young people.
“Illinois is faced with a demographic double bond. Due to the ongoing outmigration, not only fewer women of childbearing age remain in the state, but those who remain have fewer children than their colleagues elsewhere. Our birth rate is already behind most states – especially those in the south and west – and the gap grows,” wrote the tribune. “The long -term effects on our workforce, tax base and economic vitality are difficult to ignore.”
