What are the effects of elderly childbearing on the economic pressure of mother-in-law?
With the social progress and the development of medical technology, more and more women choose to postpone childbearing, which brings certain challenges to the family's economic situation. Among them, mother-in-law, as a member of the family, will also bear certain economic pressure. This article will elaborate on the economic pressure of elderly childbearing on mother-in-law from four aspects: medical expenses, childcare expenses, vacation and pension pressure.
1、 Medical expenses
Elderly childbearing may require assisted reproductive technologies such as artificial pregnancy, which leads to higher medical costs during childbirth. Mothers in law often have to bear part of the responsibility for the medical expenses of their children and mothers in law.
First of all, pregnant women may need more prenatal examinations to ensure the health of mother and baby. These additional inspection costs will increase the burden on families. Secondly, in the elderly childbirth, pregnant women may need to carry out caesarean section and other operations, which increases the cost of surgery. In addition, newborns may have some special circumstances and need more medical care and treatment, which will also increase medical costs.
In a word, the extra medical expenses brought by the elderly childbirth will increase the economic pressure of mother-in-law.
2、 Child care expenses
Children born at an advanced age are more likely to have some health problems and may need more special care and treatment, which will lead to an increase in childcare costs.
When children grow up, they may need to take some special rehabilitation training, language therapy or other medical auxiliary measures, and these costs need to be borne by the family. In addition, children born at an advanced age are more likely to need long-term drug treatment or regular examination, which will also increase the economic burden.
Therefore, mothers in law will face more pressure on childcare costs when giving birth at an advanced age.
3、 Vacation
In the elderly childbearing, the daughter-in-law may need longer maternity leave to recover and take care of the child. During this period, the mother-in-law may need to take on more responsibilities of housework and raising children, which will affect her own work and income.
The mother-in-law may have to give up some of her income or ask for a long vacation to take care of the mother and newborn. This will increase her financial pressure and may lead to a decrease in family income.
4、 Pension pressure
Children born at an advanced age may need a longer period of support, which will increase the pressure on mother-in-law to provide for the elderly.
When the children grow up, the mother-in-law has entered the old age, and she may need more energy and financial support to take care of herself. However, as her mother-in-law bears more economic pressure and childcare responsibilities in the elderly childbirth, she may not be able to fully prepare for her pension and economic stability.
Therefore, the elderly childbearing will increase the economic pressure of mother-in-law in the elderly care stage.
Summary:
The economic pressure of elderly childbearing on mother-in-law is mainly reflected in four aspects: medical expenses, childcare expenses, vacation and pension pressure. Mothers in law need to take part of the responsibility for the medical expenses of their children and mothers in law, bear more pressure on childcare expenses, may need to give up part of their income or ask for long-term leave to take care of mothers and newborns, and face more economic pressure in the elderly care stage. Therefore, the family should take full account of the economic situation and the actual situation of the mother-in-law and make a reasonable fertility decision to reduce the economic burden of the mother-in-law and ensure the health and happiness of the family and mother-in-law.
