In modern society, there has been a major concern that many couples have delayed parenthood.
Some explanations for this social trend will be put forward, before an analysis of its impacts on
society and family life is given.
A few reasons can be given to justify the trend of giving birth at later stages of life. First, the
labour market is increasingly competitive, and it is a norm that young parents defer having children
to devote the whole time in the first years of their employment to lay a sound foundation for their
future career. Second, it is believed that children are raised better by older parents. This seems valid
due to the fact that older fathers and mothers are generally wealthier, more experienced, and more
willing to take the responsibility of bringing up a child.
The trend exerts both advantageous and disadvantageous influence on society and families. On
the one hand, children born to more prosperous and experienced parents can receive better and
more comprehensive education, and thus contribute more to society when they grow up. In each
household, the parents may also reap the benefits of this trend, as their first working years are not
interrupted by pregnancy and childcare. On the other hand, when an aged couple decide to give
birth, there are serious health risks for the woman in the prenatal and postnatal period. If any
complicated maternal health problem arises, the life whole family would be turned upside down.
To conclude, the tendency to have children at later ages is caused by a number of factors, such
as the competitiveness of the job market for young adults, and both the positive and negative
impacts of it can be seen in families and society.
