Firstly
, I can claim that older couples are probably more successful and mature and will provide their children with better parenting. It can be observed that getting involved in a serious economic or social role in modern societies, requires higher education levels and more years of professional experience than in past decades.
Moreover
, women have climbed the professional ladder better in recent years which is
due to
 years of studying and perseverance being engaged with responsibilities of motherhood. These factors have led to later marriage and giving

 to young generations. In my opinion,
this
 is a positive trend since these older couples are might more mature and capable both financially and psychologically.
Hence
