The impact of elderly childbearing on families
Elderly childbearing refers to the childbearing of women over 35 years old. In recent years, with the change of society, more and more couples choose to delay childbearing, which leads to the increasingly common phenomenon of elderly childbearing. However, the elderly childbearing not only has an impact on personal health, but also has a variety of impacts on families.
First of all, the elderly childbearing has greater mental and economic pressure on both spouses. As women grow older, their fertility gradually declines, and it may take longer to conceive successfully. This means that couples have to go through more artificial insemination or IVF processes, resulting in double pressure on time and money.
Secondly, the elderly childbearing also increases the health risks of children. With the increase of age, women are prone to complications during pregnancy, such as hypertension during pregnancy, diabetes, etc. At the same time, infants may also face a higher risk of birth defects at birth. These health problems not only have a negative impact on the growth of children, but also bring psychological and economic burdens to families.
Finally, the elderly childbearing may also affect the marital relationship and family stability. As the delay in childbearing leads to the older age of children, couples may need a longer time to take care of their children, which will make couples rely on each other and support each other for a longer time, thus increasing the pressure and contradiction between couples. In addition, elderly childbearing may also lead to changes in family structure and family planning, which will have a certain impact on the development and life of couples.
The impact of elderly childbearing on society
Elderly childbearing not only has an impact on families, but also has a series of impacts on society. The following is a description from three aspects: economy, medical care and demographic transformation.
First of all, the elderly childbearing has brought certain pressure to the social economy. With the increase of the proportion of elderly childbearing, society needs to provide more medical services and security measures. These expenditures will increase the financial burden and have a certain impact on social and economic development.
Secondly, elderly childbearing has put pressure on the health care system. With the increase of the proportion of elderly childbearing, hospitals and relevant medical institutions need to provide more services and support, including prenatal examination, prenatal diagnosis and delivery care. This will affect the allocation of medical resources and the load of medical personnel.
Finally, the elderly childbearing also reflects the phenomenon of demographic transformation. In the past decades, with the development of society, people's requirements for children's education and the improvement of life quality have led to the postponement of the childbearing age. The emergence of the phenomenon of elderly childbearing reflects the change of social population structure and people's pursuit of quality of life, and reflects social progress in a sense.
Summary
The elderly childbearing has a wide impact on the family and society. In terms of family, elderly childbearing increases the mental and economic pressure of both husband and wife, increases the health risk of children, and may affect the stability of husband and wife relationship and family. In the social aspect, the elderly childbearing has brought their own pressure and influence to the economic, medical and demographic transformation. Therefore, we need to pay more attention to and support the elderly childbearing at the social level, and provide relevant health care measures and policy support to meet the growing childbearing needs of people and promote the healthy development of families and society.
