More people decide to have children in their later age than in the past. Why? Do advantages of this outweigh disadvantages?

With the progression of the society, many people do their family planning in their thirties rather than twenties which was common a decade ago.

This

essay will discuss positives and drawbacks of

this

trend and which outweighs the other. As people have turned extremely ambitious these days, they prefer achieving their goals and indulge into starting a family later.

This

priority shift not only help them focus and earn huge amount of money to make them self sufficient, but it

also

helps to financially

support

the future generation in a better way.

For instance

, financially independent parents are able to provide a better lifestyle for their children than those who are unstable in their careers.

On the contrary

, ageing brings vulnerability of severe health issues in a person's life. By the same token, pregnancy becomes complicated at the later stage, both for a man and a woman. A recent research concluded that, the probability of conceiving in couples is reduced by 23% after they touch their thirties and can

further

be declined up to 53% over the

age

of thirty five.

Secondly

, individuals do not remain fit enough to

support

their children, if the

age

gap between the parents and

child

is big.

For example

, if a

child

is born when a man is forty five, his

child

would be only twenty and not financially independent at the man's retirement

age

.

Hence

, the family might need extra financial aids to

support

the children. In conclusion, they are few advantages to starting a family late

such

as a

child

can be provided better financial aid to

support

his life, the disadvantages are more and it outweighs the advantages as the complications in conceiving can increase with a person's

age

and the generation gap between progenitors and their children is huge which can become a major issue in future.
