Nowadays, more and more people decide to have children later in life. Reason? Is it a negative or positive trend?

In modern society, there has been a hot topic of debate that a large number of young couples have delay parenthood.

This

trend

could be traced back to several reasons, and I am of the opinion that the drawbacks of it outweigh the advantages. There are a few reasons as to why parents today decide to give birth in

life

. The primary reason may come from the consideration of the development of future career of young people. It is a norm in the world today that the market

more and more competitive and both parents have to go out to work,

thus

they choose to defer having children in order to devote their time and effort to build a sound foundation for their career. Apart from that, raising a child is not easy and can cost a lot of money,

as a result

, a lot of young people have had a thought that older parents may better in doing so. Older fathers and mothers seem to have a strong financial base and have more experience in

life

so they are more willing to take care of children. In my point of view,
