The Influence of Male Elderly Childbearing on Children
It is more and more common for men to give birth at an advanced age, and many people only welcome their children in middle age or even later years. However, will the father's elderly childbearing affect the late marriage rate of children? This paper will elaborate on this issue from four aspects.
1. Genetic problems
First of all, there are certain genetic problems in male elderly childbearing. With the growth of age, the quality and quantity of the father's sperm will decline, thus increasing the risk of chromosomal abnormalities and other genetic diseases in the child. Research shows that the father's elderly childbearing is highly correlated with congenital heart disease, autism, etc. If the children have these problems, it may lead to the children's marriage concept is different from that of ordinary people, thus affecting the late marriage rate.
Secondly, another genetic problem that may affect the late marriage rate of children is the inheritance of common diseases. With the increase of father's age, the risk of children suffering from some common diseases will also increase, such as hypertension, diabetes, etc. These diseases may have a long-term impact on children's health, thus affecting their marriage decisions.
Finally, genetic problems may also lead to children's lack of confidence in their own physical condition, thus affecting their marriage concept. For children suffering from certain diseases, they may be worried that their diseases will be passed on to the next generation, which will affect the choice of marriage and the rate of late marriage.
2. Psychological influence
In addition to genetic problems, the elderly male fertility may also have a psychological impact on the late marriage rate of children. First of all, there is a great disparity between the father and his parents of the same age, which may lead to the children facing significantly different living environment and educational background from their peers in the process of growing up. This difference may increase the psychological barrier between children and their peers, affect their interactions with the opposite sex, and thus affect the late marriage rate.
Secondly, the father's elderly childbearing may lead to the lack of personal supervision and guidance in the growth process of children. As the father is older, his energy and physical strength may decline, and he cannot actively participate in the growth of his children as a young father. This may lead to children's lack of father's guidance and experience sharing on marriage, which is not conducive to their forming a positive marriage concept, and thus affects the late marriage rate.
In addition, fathers who give birth at an advanced age may also face more life pressure and physical health problems, which may lead to greater emotional fluctuations in the growth of children. In this case, children may be affected by emotional pressure, increasing their fear of marriage, and thus affecting the rate of late marriage.
3. Social identity
There are still some criticisms and prejudices against the elderly male childbearing in society, which may have a certain impact on the late marriage rate of children. The father's elder childbearing may lead to some discrimination and exclusion of children in society, which may have a negative impact on their marriage concept. Because fathers are older, they may face more responsibilities and pressure, which leads to children's suspicion of marriage, thus affecting the late marriage rate.
4. Family environment
Finally, the elderly male childbearing may have an impact on the family environment of children's late marriage rate. The father's elderly childbearing may lead to the lack of family companionship and support during the child's growth. In addition, the father's old age may cause families to face more difficulties in economic and social resource utilization, thus affecting children's marriage concept and late marriage rate.
summary
The elderly male childbearing may have a certain impact on the late marriage rate of children. Genetic problems, psychological impact, social identity and family environment may have a negative impact on children's marriage concept, and then affect the late marriage rate. Therefore, fathers should take these issues into consideration when considering elder childbearing, and provide good growth environment and support for children to promote their healthy growth and marriage development.
