The impact of elderly childbearing on families
Elderly childbearing refers to the childbearing of women over 35 years old. In modern society, with the improvement of economic conditions and living standards, more and more women choose to postpone childbearing. However, the impact of elderly childbearing on families cannot be ignored. The impact of elderly childbearing on families is assessed from the following aspects:
First, the elderly childbearing has a certain impact on the relationship between husband and wife. Postponing childbearing means that couples will have the opportunity to raise children only after their careers and lives are stable. However, due to the growth of age, the physical condition of couples may be relatively poor, and they are more vulnerable to stress, fatigue and anxiety. These physical and psychological problems may have a negative impact on the marital relationship and increase the contradiction and conflict between the husband and wife.
Secondly, the elderly childbearing has a certain impact on the family's economic situation. Older childbearing usually requires more medical resources and economic expenditure. The cost of monitoring during pregnancy and medical expenses for childbirth may increase the burden on families. In addition, with the growth of children, the expenditure on education, health and other aspects will also increase. If the couple is troubled by economic pressure, it may affect the harmony and stability of the family.
Third, the elderly childbearing has a certain impact on the health and development of children. The growth of women's age is closely related to their children's chromosomal abnormalities and the risk of congenital diseases. Higher age may increase the probability of children suffering from chromosomal abnormalities (such as Down syndrome) and other congenital diseases. At the same time, due to the growth of parents' age, their physical condition may be poor, and they cannot give enough attention and care to children, which will also have a certain impact on children's health and development.
The impact of elderly childbearing on society
Elderly childbearing not only affects families, but also affects society to a certain extent. The impact of elderly childbearing on society is assessed from the following aspects:
First, elderly childbearing has increased the demand for social medical resources. Older pregnant women may need more frequent prenatal examinations and more complex medical services. This will lead to an increase in the burden of hospitals and other medical institutions, which may lead to the imbalance and tension of medical resources and affect the medical needs of other young mothers and children.
Secondly, the elderly childbearing has increased the social pension burden. Since older childbearing means that the child will not grow up until the parents are older, this means that the child may need longer economic assistance and long-term care in the future. This will increase the social pension burden and challenge the social pension security system.
Third, the elderly childbearing also has a certain impact on the social population structure and the labor market. Postponing childbearing means that women may have more opportunities for career development, but it also leads to changes in the supply and demand relationship in the labor market. Due to the increase of elderly childbearing, women may delay re employment or reduce working hours, which may lead to insufficient supply in the labor market.
Summary
In general, elderly childbearing has a series of impacts on families and society. In terms of families, elderly childbearing may increase the pressure on the relationship between husband and wife, burden the family economy, and pose risks to the health and development of children. In the social aspect, elderly childbearing has increased the demand for medical resources, increased the burden of old-age care, and also has a certain impact on the labor market.
Therefore, when assessing the impact of elderly childbearing on families and society, it is necessary to comprehensively consider the above aspects, and also need to assess and formulate measures according to different individual conditions, so as to achieve the sustainable development of families and society.
