While I think the trend toward delayed parenthood is a big problem & maternal age is the best indicator for that, this is not a lady problem. I don’t even think this mess has much to do w feminism or tinder. Cultural pessimism, memes about parents + deranged norms do the trick
A lot of people who feel any desire at all to be parents have so internalized the idea that it is both boring & all-consuming that they cannot imagine going for it until they’re already bored & feeling somewhat directionless re: everything else in life
Why is delayed parenthood a problem? Increased health risks? Or something else?
Sure, it’s an intelligence problem. We know too much. Seems like a terrible idea if you are any kind of epicurean, and we can see that the survival of the species is at a nice cruising altitude.
Material precarity as well. Trying to raise a child in a large coastal urban environment requires either acceptance of something less than an ideal childhood (a problem of norms, as you say) or the type of disposable income available to very few 20somethings.
not to mention the cost of raising a child in the cities w/ the most employment growth / best job prospects is quite high (& growing rapidly)
Yes, and all the workarounds that poor families use are dismissed as virtually equivalent to child abuse or neglect — leaving children with friends, using “screens” to get some downtime, letting older children entertain themselves without supervision, etc
