HAVING CHILDREN LATER IN LIFE It's a general trend that as more women get an education and enter the workforce, they marry and start having kids later in life. Pros and cons Because a woman's fertility begins to decrease at age 32 and decreases more sharply after age 37, it will likely be more difficult for her to conceive at 40 than it would have been when she was 30, though every woman will have a different experience. Miscarriages and a number of complications to pregnancy, including gestational diabetes and high blood pressure, are more common for women over 35. But a woman's choice to wait to have kids offers important benefits to society, too. When women establish themselves in their careers before having kids, it can have long-term positive implications for their kids and their employees. Getting an education and making more money raises a woman's socioeconomic status, so a working-class mother can potentially raise middle-class kids if she waits to start a family. o to enter the workforce = to become a part of the population that provides goods and services in exchange for a wage or salary: tham gia lực lượng lao động o fertility /fərˈtɪləti/ (n) = the ability to produce babies: khả năng sinh sản o to conceive /kənˈsiːv/ (v) = to become pregnant: thụ thai, có thai o miscarriage /ˈmɪskærɪdʒ/ (n) = an early, unintentional end to a pregnancy when the baby is born too early and dies because it has not developed enough: sẩy thai o complication /ˌkɑːmplɪˈkeɪʃn/ (n) = an extra medical problem that makes it more difficult to treat an existing illness: biến chứng o pregnancy /ˈpreɡnənsi/ (n) = the state of being pregnant: sự mang thai o to have long-term positive implications for ...: có ý nghĩa tích cực lâu dài đối với ... o to raise someone’s socioeconomic status: nâng cao địa vị kinh tế xã hội của ai đó o working-class /ˌwɜːrkɪŋ ˈklæs/ (adj) = from or connected with the social class whose members do not have much money or power and are usually employed to do manual work: thuộc tầng lớp lao động o middle-class /ˌmɪdl ˈklæs/ (adj) = connected with the middle social class: thuộc tầng lớp trung lưu Source: https://www.businessinsider.com/why-delaying-parenthood-and-having-kids-later-is-a-big-deal-2015-6 SYNONYMS o to start having kids later in life » to wait to have kids
