Why is delayed parenthood a problem? Increased health risks? Or something else?
Also: non-linearly increasing risk of fertility problems, constrained family sizes, higher risk of having to do it without multigenerational support, higher risk of the death of a parent before the children are self-sufficient
tbh, of these, the fertility/family size thing is the big one to me — if you have a couple kids, discover that they’re pretty happy & you love having them, it is a MAJOR loss to the world that you just turned 40 & will probably struggle to have more
As Bryan Caplan has argued, the transition from 0 to 1 children is many times more costly than 1 to 2, or 2 to 3. When most people delay childbearing to the very end of the 1.5 decade span of decent fertility, society has many fewer children at a much higher cost
Not true in all cases but there’s something to be said for youthful energy on the part of the parent. I’m 33 and have kids. Friends my age w/o kids are starting to complain about staying up too late and sore backs. Just wait til they have an 8 month old. Or a 2 yo and a newborn.
Also: the sheer mental exhaustion that comes from thinking you can pre-plan for everything in raising a child. I can think of no better way to teach the adult lesson of how little you control than to have a child.
