Task 2: In some countries today, many people decide to have their first child when they are older. What are the reasons? Do you think the advantages of this outweigh the disadvantages?

t is said that there is an increasing number of people considering having their first

child

at an older age.

This

essay will elaborate on the reasons for

this

viewpoint and my perspective. There are several benefits, which are the causes that create

this

phenomenon, and the foremost reason is that they may develop their careers better without the burden of the family since young adults.

For example

, a single person can put more time and effort into their workplace and explore his or her potential capabilities.

As a result

, more career promotion opportunities will appear for that person.

Hence

, they may provide better emotional, financial, and educational support for their first

child

through their improved careers.

According to

a report from the Journal of Family Psychology, parents' mental health and income will positively influence a

child

's achievements.

Moreover

, they can educate their

child

better without the stress of money.

However

, it is obvious that various consequences of

this

action may happen.

Firstly

, there may be detrimental health concerns for both

mother

and her children. A report in the Journal of Physiology said that the older the

mother

gives

birth

, the higher the chance of chromosome abnormalities in the

child

.

Moreover

, it

also

said that when giving

birth

in old age, the

mother

will have a higher chance of hypertension, premature

birth

, and other associated mental and physical risks. In conclusion,

although

there are benefits

such

as better conditions for children and better careers, the consequences of giving

birth

in old age, including abnormalities in children and complex health concerns in the

mother

, outweigh the benefits of career promotion.
