Creating a family with children at an older age has many ardent

supporters but

supporters, but

fervent opposition, making

this

issue

highly debatable. I am inclined to believe that the positive aspects of

this

matter prevail over the negative ones. In

this

essay I shall delve into

this

issue

by revealing the culprits behind it and identifying not only the

disadvantages but

disadvantages, but

also

the advantages of it, before concluding on my opinion. Looking at

this

phenomenon from an economic point of view, we can say that nowadays people tend to postpone having children due to an increased focus

on

their career.

In other words

, most people have been studying for many years and they feel that they need to prove themselves professionally by building a successful career before having a family. Another logical reason for the occurrence of

this

issue

is

also

that most people these days want to have children after being financially stable and feeling mature enough to raise a child. It is true that being a parent is one of the most significant responsibilities that somebody can take through their

life

,

thus

you have to be prepared for it. One of the most beneficial aspects adding to the support of

this

issue

is that it lets people

to their fullest potential before becoming parents. To put it more simply, the older you decide to have children, the more time you will have to educate yourself and find what makes you really a happy individual.

This

will result not only in a more fulfilling

life

and an inner satisfaction but will

also

create the foundations for a happy family. Continuing with the drawbacks, it would be an omission not to emphasize that the older somebody gets the most difficult is to have children. To put it more simply, scientific evidence suggests that the probability of having a child is getting smaller,

specially

to a distinctly greater extent or degree than is common

especially

after becoming 40, and

that is

why many people seek medical advice when they are facing

this

problem. With the combination of high infertility rates in many countries, giving birth to a child after a certain age seems to be a really challenging

issue

. To conclude, the causes of

this

phenomenon are quite evident as they seem to appear all over us and in my opinion the benefits of creating a family in a later stage of your

life

outweigh the drawbacks.
