In some countries around the world men and women are having children later in life. What are reasons for this development? What are the effects on society and family life?

With the advent of modernization, many individuals are opting to have kids later in

life

.

This

essay will examine in detail the reasons for

this

choice

such

as increased costs of child maintenance and prioritizing careers and

also

the negative effects of these

such

as stress due to societal pressure and emotional detachment and trauma it might cause in family

life

.

Firstly

, as the world has progressed economically, the cost and standard of living have increased. Many individuals struggle to lead a cost-effective

life

with the income earned as the expenditure is higher than the earnings. So it can be quite challenging to bear

children

and fulfil their needs.

For instance

, nowadays the educational institutions for

children

are costly.

Additionally

, in

this

modern ,world more

couples

are putting their career

first

and some consider having a baby as detrimental to their success.Most people are career-oriented and they put off starting a family for the sake of attaining high-income work opportunities.

For example

, if a person is offered a better job position in another country, they might find it easier to migrate if they don't have offsprings.

However

, society can put immense pressure on

couples

who choose to have

children

later in their

life

. In most orthodox communities, people believe that married individuals should have offsprings as soon as possible to make their family complete. So it might raise eyebrows among society as there is a stigma associated with

couples

with no offsprings.

Moreover

, some partners might find their relationship to be stagnant if there are no

children

. After an age as

life

gets monotonous ,emotional detachment and tensions might arise in their relationship.

This

can result in trauma and eventually separation among

couples

. To conclude, many people nowadays are opting to raise infants in their later

life

as it is expensive to bring up a child and they want to concentrate on their careers

first

.

This

might enable society to pressurize the

couples

and

also

eventually partners might feel emotionally detached.
