    Yes:
    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 years of waiting for a baby to come, 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 a positive influence on child raising. In terms of reproduction, more and more women are concentrating their efforts on their own career 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, high 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 later in their life are not only confronted with health challenges, 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 a social perspective, late childbirth may decrease the birth rate and cause a labor shortage 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 psychologically and financially. However, late childbirth is discouraged by some people due to its negative effects on individuals, families and even the society. For instance, older couples may not only suffer from infertility when they intend to have a child but also face severe problems in their life after retirement. Meanwhile, the decrease in population will result in a labor shortage. From my perspective, couples can choose to have their kids either at an early age or later in their life, as long as they are ready for this big switch. On the one hand, children 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 different trends of childbearing have appeared, both of which have an everlasting impact on social development and children’s growth.
