    Being ready to be parents makes better mothers and fathers, because they would devote more time and energy to their family than their younger counterparts.
    After waiting for years for a baby to come along, mature parents are more likely to deliver quality family education to their children.
    Another advantage of becoming parents late is financial security, which is deemed to exert positive influence on child raising. In terms of reproduction, more and more women are concentrating on their own career and development so that they can invest more in their children.
    NO
    If women decide to have their babies late in life, they may have to face some pregnancy problems such as low fertility, higher risk of diseases and genetic disorder. As fertility declines with age, delaying pregnancy also means that many couples may experience this difficulty.
    Couples having kids late in life not only confront with health challenges in midlife, but also have to deal with their retirement life as their children are not old enough or don’t have the ability to support them.
    From the social perspective, late childbirth in life may decrease the birth rate and labor force will be short in the near future.

答案 My View on Late Childbirth In today’s society, many young couples tend to delay having their babies, so that they can get well prepared, both emotionally and financially. However, late childbirth is discouraged by many people due to its bad effects on individuals, families and even society. For instance, older couples may not only suffer from infertility when they intend to have a child but also face severe aged-care problems after retirement. Meanwhile, the decrease in population will result in labor shortage. From my perspective, couples can choose to have kids either early or late, as long as they are ready for this big switch. On the one hand, children really do require lots of parental care. Couples should be well prepared to settle down and focus their attention on the enjoyment of being parents. On the other hand, in addition to the necessary living and educational expenses, most parents nowadays pay for promoting the intellectual development of their children. Without adequate savings, many families may experience the hardship of economic insecurity. To sum up, currently two major different trends of childbearing ages have gradually appeared, both of which have everlasting impact on social development and children’s growth.
