The impact of elderly childbearing on family economy and pressure
With the development of society and the change of parenting concept, more and more couples choose to postpone childbearing. Elderly childbearing refers to the pregnancy and childbirth of women aged 35 and above, which not only has a series of impacts on family economy and pressure.
1. Increase in medical expenses
Couples who give birth at an advanced age usually need to undergo more medical examination and treatment to ensure the health of pregnant women and fetuses. These additional medical expenses include prenatal examination, prenatal examination, treatment of complications of elderly pregnancy and cesarean section that may be required. With the accumulation of these expenditures, the economic burden of families will increase significantly.
In addition, older pregnant women are more prone to complications and need closer medical supervision. If complications occur, hospitalization may be required, thus increasing the hospitalization cost. Therefore, the impact of elderly childbearing on family economy is obvious.
2. Increase of education cost
The elderly childbearing means that the children leave and shoot later, which corresponds to the extension of the children's education time. When children go to school, their parents are already older, and they may need to continue working to pay for their children's education. This means that families need to cope with the dual challenges of decreasing family income and increasing economic pressure.
In addition, elderly childbearing may bring uncertainty to the family's economic situation during child rearing. Parents may still need to work after their children reach adulthood to meet their children's needs for further education and living expenses. Therefore, the increase of education cost is also a practical problem that the elderly child-bearing families need to face.
3. Increased family pressure
Older childbearing usually brings more pressure to families. First of all, for women, pregnancy and childbirth will cause a greater load on the body, which may lead to more physical discomfort and health problems. This is especially important for an older woman.
Secondly, the elderly childbearing has led to the extension of childbearing age, and parents need to pay more time and energy for the growth and education of children. They need to overcome physical fatigue and mental pressure to better perform their parents' responsibilities, which undoubtedly adds additional pressure to the family.
Finally, childbearing at an advanced age may bring about social estrangement during child rearing. Compared with other young parents or families with children of the same age, parents may face some difficulties, such as communication difficulties and mismatches in common interests. These barriers may increase the pressure on elderly childbearing families.
4. The increase of elderly care problems
The elderly childbearing will also have an impact on the family's pension problem. Due to the late childbearing of parents, when children become adults, their parents may already be older. This means that when children need to take care of their parents, their parents may also be in a state of need.
In this way, the family's economy and energy are scattered to take care of parents and children, increasing the difficulty of the family's pension problems. Older childbearing families need to balance the needs of children's education and parents' care, which undoubtedly increases the burden of families.
summary
Older childbearing has brought many impacts on family economy and pressure. The high medical expenses, the increase of education costs, the increase of family pressure and the increase of elderly care problems are all challenges that families need to face in the process of elderly childbearing. Therefore, couples should take these influences into full consideration and make wise decisions before choosing to give birth at an advanced age.
