The age at which people have children has risen. Some people believe that because of this, families and countries will suffer some problems. What is your opinion?

In
this
competitive world, many couples are planning for the
first
child
in at least after the
first
few years since their marriage. It is mainly because many parents are more passionate and career-oriented and women conceive the
first
baby later in their life. Many people opine that the young parents are rising in the nuclear families and at the age which they
plan
can cause many issues in the family and nation itself. My inclination to the reasons are articulated in the ensuring paragraphs and will draw a logical conclusion later on. To commence with, many parents in the larger and metropolitan cities do
plan
the
first
baby some years after the marriage.
This
is because mainly women empowerment is increased in many countries and women do focus a lot in their career development and constantly worried about the job promotions rather than handling household chores as we have seen in the previous generations.
In addition
, many couples
also
take some more time for deciding about family planning because of social beliefs, extravagant expenses, higher inflation and responsibilities.
Moreover
, nowadays women are primarily more concerned about the work duties and are so much stress out, due to hectic work schedule and higher competition.
Similarly
, both the couples could not able to
plan
for the
first
child
because of these issues.
For instance
, my closed friend Rita who is basically a software programmer in some big multinational company since
last
4 years, due to busy schedule and stress at work could not able to balance her personal life which causes issues in her personal life.
Furthermore
, it impacts not only the overall members of the family but
also
the nation. The birth rate ratio gets diminish as many women in major cities
plan
their babies after getting settle down at a good position in the job. Even, as nuclear families are on the rise compared to the previous decades and the sole responsibility of the women is no to take care of the children and house, it affects the family in somewhat the other way indirectly. To conclude, working couples should
plan
their
first
child
when they are not only financially stable in the job but
also
can contribute most of the time for upbringing their
first
child
as it is significant imperative for them.
