Offspring in early life can make people more family-oriented and reduce the risk of separation between couples. But in the twenty-first century, many married couples are decided to have their babies after spending a few years or maybe later in life. The reasons behind such decision-making are various depending upon the individual perspectives. However, career, women empowerment, adjustment issues, changes in social belief, increased expenses, and longer life expectancy are certainly major reasons for this current trend.
Currently, every individual is more passionate about their carrier growth. Young married couples are enthusiastically participating in their carrier to fulfill their professional developments. In this stage, they do not want to have their children as they fear the additional responsibility may interfere with their achievements.
We cannot deny that competition, unemployment, and economic crisis become part of life for every individual in the current situation. The young generation often faced a job crunch and is constantly worried about their career and job promotions. The couples considered all these parameters and decide to postpone their family planning.
Previously, women solely took responsibility to look after their children. But present days, the system has changed because women’s empowerment becomes essential for social development. In such conditions, working wives try to have their babies after they received a stable job position.
Social belief also changed with time. Nowadays, people are more concerned about living expenses. Therefore, the number of giving birth is automatically reduced in most families, which is significantly different from older generations. Many couples are completed their higher studies after marriage and involved full-time in universities. During this stage, many of them do not want to start their family because of the diversion of their focus.
Most people want to be stable in their position so that they can give better care to their babies. This cannot be possible with early family planning. Increased financial responsibilities along with heightening the expenditure with the arrival of a baby in early life become difficult to manage.
Along with these, parents need to spend quality time with their children. Time crunch for parents often causes psychological issues in their children.
Currently, most young couples prefer a nuclear family. Young parents do not have enough maturity to take care of their babies due to a lack of knowledge and time. Ultimately younger parents have a dilemma between giving preference to their carrier or family.
This can cause risk in their carrier and also be harmful to their child’s future. Therefore, people choose to become parents later in life when they are mentally and economically stable.
Therefore, it can be concluded that those who do not want to enjoy the pleasure of having a baby in their early years of marriage and decide to become parents in later life are usually carrier oriented, though early parenthood can also be a stunning experience if people have financial stability and sufficient time to spend quality time with their children.
