In some countries around the world men and women tend to have their children late in life. What are the reasons for this development? What are the effects on society and family life?
正确答案：
These days, owing to the advances in biomedical technology, there is a
growing tendency in some countries for fresh couples to have children late in
their life. From my perspective, this notable trend may associate with women
themselves as well as with the increasingly soaring cost of living.
Obviously, women tend to receive longer education in their life span, which
means they may get late marriage and consequently have postponed child-bearing.
Furthermore, with longer and better education, women may reconsider their role
in marriage. To be specific, they may attach more attention to their career
trying to be professional in their field, compared with their traditional
counterparts mainly performing the role of mother in a family. Apart from the
reason coming from women themselves, the high cost of living in some countries
may also contribute to this phenomenon. Not only can feeding a family be
burdensome for young couples, but offering high quality education for their
offspring could be an even more daunting task, which to a large extent hinder
their progress to be parents.
Admittedly, having late child-bearing may enable women to fulfill their
career ambitions and allow young couples to establish a solid financial base.
However, despite the contribution of medical science, late child-bearing may
make women be confronted with the pregnancy problems such as low fertility and
the high risk of genetic disorder, which could be detrimental to their physical
and mental health. Furthermore, postponed child-bearing could also trigger the
decline of overall population, which in turn can exacerbate the problem of
ageing population, ending up with more pressure on feeding the elderly for our
future generations.
To conclude, although having postponed child-bearing could pave the way for
women's career development, and enable young couples to better prepare for
parents in terms of financial support, the risk of such practice for individuals
and society should not be ignored and the analysis seems to indicate its
drawbacks outweigh its merits. Thus, government and communities are supposed to
do more to help our young couples to get balanced in this issue.
