The factors that cause the increase of female elderly fertility rate
In recent years, with the change of social and economic environment, the elderly female fertility rate has gradually increased. This phenomenon has attracted extensive attention. There are many factors that can explain the emergence of this trend. We will elaborate from four aspects: social pressure, medical technology progress, economic independence and psychological changes.
Impact of social pressure
In modern society, women usually have to face social pressure from all aspects. Career development, marital status and family responsibilities are all sources of pressure on women. With the change of social concept, women pay more and more attention to career development and pursue self realization. For the sake of success in work and career, many women choose to postpone childbearing. At the same time, the change of marriage concept also causes women to postpone the age of marriage, thus delaying the birth plan.
In addition, the requirements of society for women's childbearing age are also gradually rising. Many women are worried that giving birth early will affect their career development, so they are more willing to wait for a better opportunity. This kind of social pressure has made it a trend for the elderly female fertility rate to rise.
Impact of medical technology progress
The progress of modern medical technology is also an important reason for the rise of the fertility rate of elderly women. The development of assisted reproductive technology (ART) enables older women to carry out IVF or other assisted reproductive methods. Through ART, women's fertility opportunities have been greatly improved.
In addition, some advanced hospitals and clinics have provided better professional technology and services to ensure women's elderly childbearing. The emergence of these medical institutions makes women more confident to choose late childbirth.
Impact of economic independence
With the improvement of economic conditions, women's economic independence has also been improved. Modern women can get better jobs and higher incomes by virtue of their professional abilities and efforts, so they can better bear the responsibility of child rearing and education. This economic independence makes women more confident and able to choose late childbirth.
Influence of psychological changes
With the social progress, women's psychological attitude has also undergone a series of changes. Compared with the past, women are more pursuing personal happiness and life satisfaction. Parents also pay more attention to their careers, family balance and the quality of their children's education. For some women, postponing childbearing has become an option for their career and personal aspirations.
In addition, women have more experience and knowledge in elderly childbearing, are more mature and stable, and can better bear the responsibility of parenting.
Summary
There are many reasons for the increase of female elderly fertility rate, including social pressure, medical technology progress, economic independence and psychological changes. Social pressure makes women more inclined to postpone childbearing. The progress of medical technology makes it possible to give birth at an advanced age. Economic independence makes women more able to bear the responsibility of child rearing. Psychological changes make women pay more attention to personal happiness and life satisfaction. All these factors together promote the increase of the elderly female fertility rate.
However, women's elderly childbearing also faces a series of risks and challenges. Although assisted reproductive technology can improve fertility opportunities, it may also cause a series of physical and psychological problems. In addition, there are still some social concepts and medical problems in the elderly childbearing. Therefore, the society should pay more attention to the problem of women's elderly childbearing and provide better support and services.
