The Influence of Older Childbearing on Work Life Balance
Elderly childbearing means that women continue to conceive and give birth at the age of 35 and above. Compared with young childbearing, older childbearing has a series of effects on work life balance.
First of all, giving birth at an advanced age means that more time and energy need to be devoted to raising children, which may lead to limited career development. After giving birth at an advanced age, women need to spend more time taking care of children, and it is difficult for them to concentrate on their career wholeheartedly, so they may miss opportunities for promotion and promotion.
Secondly, the elderly childbearing may lead to the decline of individual physical and mental health. When women are pregnant at an advanced age, their bodies are more prone to complications, such as hypertension and diabetes. This may lead to the need for more sick leave and medical care, affecting the normal work. At the same time, due to the growth of age, women's physical strength and energy may not meet the needs of caring for children, thus increasing the physical and mental burden.
In addition, elderly childbearing may also cause some pressure on family finance. Compared with young childbearing, parents who give birth at an advanced age usually have a higher economic burden, such as purchasing more expensive housing, increasing education costs, etc. In order to ensure the quality of life and education of their children, many couples may have to choose to work overtime or increase working hours, thus further reducing the work life balance.
Whether elder childbirth will increase medical expenses
The elderly childbirth will indeed increase the medical expenses.
First of all, due to women's physical changes and higher pregnancy risk, older childbearing requires more frequent prenatal examination and medical monitoring. This includes more blood tests, B-ultrasound, amniocentesis, etc., which all require certain expenses.
Secondly, older women who give birth are more likely to have complications, such as pre eclampsia, placental abruption, etc., which may require further medical treatment and surgical intervention, increasing medical expenses.
In addition, due to the older women who give birth, postpartum rehabilitation may take longer than young women. This may require more rehabilitation physiotherapy, TCM recuperation, etc., which further increases the medical expenses.
The Influence of Elderly Childbearing on Mental Health
The elderly childbearing has a certain impact on women's mental health.
First of all, women who give birth at an advanced age may face more anxiety and pressure. Worry about whether the health status can support the pregnancy and raising of children, worry about the future development of children, etc., which may bring more anxiety and pressure to women.
Secondly, women may face greater psychological pressure due to the negative views and comments of the society on elderly childbearing. The society generally believes that there are higher risks and difficulties in the elderly childbearing, and the evaluation and view of women are also relatively negative. This may lead to women's inferiority complex and anxiety.
In addition, the elderly childbearing may make women fall into thinking about their own identity and role. Women may face the choice of personal career development and family life, which may have a certain impact on women's mental health.
The Influence of Older Childbearing on Family Relations
Older childbearing will also have a certain impact on family relations.
First, the elderly childbearing may exert pressure on the relationship between husband and wife. As the elderly childbearing may bring more physical and psychological burdens to women, the communication and understanding between husband and wife may be troubled to some extent, thus affecting the harmony of husband and wife relations.
Secondly, the elderly childbearing may have an impact on the relationship of other family members. For example, elderly childbearing may need help from parents or other relatives, which may increase the burden and contradiction between relatives.
In addition, elderly childbearing may lead to the emergence of family differences of opinion. The husband and wife may have different opinions on whether to give birth at an advanced age, the way and method of giving birth and other issues, which may lead to conflicts and disputes within the family.
Summary
The impact of elderly childbearing on work life balance is mainly reflected in the limitations of career development, the decline of individual physical and mental health, and the increase of family financial pressure. At the same time, the elderly childbirth will also have an impact on medical expenses, including more prenatal examination, medical treatment and rehabilitation needs. In addition, the elderly childbearing will also bring some problems to women's mental health and family relations. Therefore, we need to weigh the pros and cons and make appropriate planning and preparation to achieve the best work life balance.
