You should spend about 40 minutes on this task. Write about the following topic: More people decided to have children at a later age than in the past. Why? Do advantages of this outweigh disadvantages? Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience. Write at least 250 words.

A growing number of individuals are opting to start families at a later stage of life compared to previous generations.
Although
this
can help their careers before giving birth, I believe that there are more drawbacks because it will negatively impact their kids later. The main reason people delay giving birth is to gain a promotion.
This
is because they can focus more on working and can be able to achieve their goals without any hindrance.
For instance
, some researchers said that many young people have to work 7 days a week, and those who can maintain that pace are very likely to be promoted and become successful.
However
, I believe that any promotions will affect their
children
's growth.
On the other hand
, people who have offspring early in life can escalate the expenditures and financial responsibilities of parents.
Moreover
, if they do not spend
time
with their kids, they will grow up with psychological issues.
Thus
, by having early babies, young parents cannot handle both working and their offspring together.
This
might put both their careers and their
children
's future at risk.
For example
, parents are too busy to spend
time
with their
children
so they let their kids stay alone at home for a long
time
and
this
might lead to many psychological issues like depression or autism. In conclusion,
although
it might be tempting to make career advancement before having a child, one must consider and decide to spend better
time
together and provide all amenities to
children
and spend
time
with them.
