Advantages and Disadvantages of Elderly Birth
Elderly childbearing refers to the pregnancy and childbirth of women over 35 years old. In recent years, with the development of society and the change of marriage concept, more and more women choose to postpone childbearing. Older childbearing has both advantages and disadvantages. This article will analyze the advantages and disadvantages of elderly childbearing from four aspects: health, economic pressure, family relations and social impact.
good health
Older childbearing brings certain risks to women's health. As women grow older, their ovarian function gradually declines, and the quality and quantity of eggs will be affected, leading to decreased fertility and increased risk of infertility. In addition, older pregnant women are prone to pregnancy complications such as pregnancy induced hypertension and diabetes, which increases the risk of delivery.
However, the elderly childbearing also has its positive side. The progress of modern medicine enables older women to receive more detailed prenatal examination and professional pregnancy care during pregnancy, thus reducing potential risks. At the same time, the development of artificial assisted reproduction technology, such as in vitro fertilization, embryo transfer, etc., provides options for older women to achieve fertility.
Economic pressure
Older childbearing often means an increase in family burden. With the birth of children, parents need to bear more economic responsibilities, such as education costs, medical costs, etc. For those elderly parents who have entered their career, they may need to devote more time and energy to taking care of their children, which may affect their career development.
However, the elderly childbearing also has some economic advantages. Because older couples usually have a higher income level in their careers, they can provide better conditions and resources in terms of children's education and living subsidies. At the same time, older parents with rich experience may be more able to face economic challenges and give more attention and educational resources to their children.
Family relations
Older childbearing may have a certain impact on family relations. For those couples who already have tense or unstable relationships in their marriage, the elderly childbearing may further increase the pressure between couples. At the same time, the elderly childbearing may make the relationship between husband and wife focus more on childcare, while ignoring the emotional exchange and interaction between husband and wife.
However, the elderly childbearing can also become a new opportunity for the relationship between husband and wife. Faced with common responsibilities and challenges, couples may unite more closely and work together to provide a good growth environment for their children. At the same time, the elderly childbearing also means that couples have a longer time to plan their family business, and gradually develop a better family business philosophy.
social influence
Elderly childbearing has aroused widespread concern and discussion in society. On the one hand, the elderly childbearing reflects the changes in social development and marriage concepts, giving women more independent choices. In addition, the elderly childbearing also makes the society pay more attention to the child rearing of the elderly, and has an impact on the social security system for the elderly.
However, the elderly childbearing will also cause some social problems. For example, older children may face more mental and physical health problems, and the demand for social medical resources increases. At the same time, the elderly novice parents may face greater parenting pressure and challenges, and social support and help for them become more important.
Summary
To sum up, there are both advantages and disadvantages of childbearing at an advanced age. In terms of physical health, there are certain risks in elderly childbearing, but the development of modern medical technology provides more choices and guarantees for elderly women. In terms of economic pressure, elderly childbearing increases the burden of families, but may also provide better education and living conditions. In terms of family relations, elderly childbearing may cause pressure on the relationship between husband and wife, but it can also become an opportunity for the relationship between husband and wife. In terms of social impact, elderly childbearing has aroused social concern, but also brought some problems. Therefore, for individuals and society, the advantages and disadvantages of elder childbearing need to be comprehensively considered in specific circumstances, and the advantages and disadvantages should be weighed to make a wise choice.
