Nowadays, more and more people decide to have children later in their life. What do you think are the reasons for this? Do advantages of this trend outweigh disadvantages?

It has been pointed out that an increasing number of individuals decide to have their first kid in their late thirties or forties. Personally, I opine that the stiff competitive atmosphere in our society causes

this

circumstance, and

this

disgraceful trend is detrimental to the development of our country from different aspects. First of all, the strong competition in the job market is the reason for young individuals making the decision to have their babies later in their lives.

This

is because in order to keep their well-paid jobs and make more money to support their livelihood, young individuals are always required to work beyond the predetermined hours, which squizzed their leisure time,

thus

leading to that they do not have enough time to think about having their children.

For instance

, a huge percentage of young couples who are working in well-known companies in Hong Kong said that it is quite common for them to work until late mid-night every weekday, which genuinely makes up a great deal of their spare time to consider having their babies and take care of them.

As a result

of

this

, they have decided to have their first kid after their forty years old.

Furthermore

,

this

dreadful situation has affected the development of our nations. The reason is that professionals and experts, especially young graduates who have achieved amazing academic performance in educational establishments, in various fields are the main contributors to the growth of a country. If ordinary people delay

lack of human resources,

harming the development of our country. As an illustration, a specialist of an institution of biology points out that

due to

a lack of young outstanding talents whose major is pharmacy, they are facing a profound challenge to carry out new experiments and produce new medicines, which hinders the advancement of biology in their nation. In conclusion,

although

people may vary in their opinion about the cause and effect of the delay in having children of young generations, I am of the opinion that the fierce competition in workplaces is the reason for

this

situation, and it has resulted in several drawbacks for the growth of a nation in various industries
