雅思写作大作文范文

In the modern world, young adults prefer to raise children late in their life. This essay will mainly analyze the potential reasons and how it will affect society and family life as well.

在现代社会，年轻的成年人更喜欢在晚年养育孩子。本文主要分析其潜在原因，以及它对社会和家庭生活的影响。

There are three main factors contributing to the postponed parenthood.

推迟生育有三个主要因素。

In general, people who bear great pressure from their work are less likely to prepare childbirth early, considering that they may have little time to attend their children. This problem can also be attributed to the high cost of modern life. The young people without adequate savings will probably be afraid of high living cost and expensive tuition. Another reason for this is the difficulty in balancing work and life. More young people emphasize the promotion in career, and thus spare little time for a stable marriage life which is viewed as a significant element for rearing children.

一般来说，承受工作压力很大的人更不容易早生孩子，因为他们可能没有时间去照顾自己的孩子。这个问题也可以归因于现代生活的高成本。没有足够储蓄的年轻人可能会害怕高昂的生活成本和昂贵的学费。另一个原因是工作和生活的平衡。越来越多的年轻人强调事业的提升，因此很少有时间去稳定的婚姻生活，这被视为养育孩子的重要因素。

It cannot be denied that late childbirth is able to provide more time for young couples to be ready for the new members in their families. They need to learn how to raise children before they decide to have children. In addition, if they delay childbirth, they can provide more economic support for children’s rearing and education.

不可否认的是，晚育能够为年轻夫妇提供更多的时间，让他们为家庭中的新成员做好准备。他们需要在孩子们决定要孩子之前学会如何抚养孩子。此外，如果他们推迟生育，他们可以为孩子的抚养和教育提供更多的经济支持。

However, the low birth rate will cause an increase in aging population. It is widely known that most medical needs and costs occur in the last years of life. Therefore, young people have to face the need to care for the elderly family members. From the perspective of the society, due to a shift in the age structure of the workforce, an aging society with a low birthrate is likely to encounter labor shortage.

然而，低出生率会导致人口老龄化。众所周知，大多数医疗需求和成本都发生在生命的最后几年。因此，年轻人不得不面对赡养老人的需要。从社会的角度来看，由于劳动力年龄结构的改变，一个出生率低的老龄化社会很可能会遭遇劳动力短缺。

To summarize, the delay in having children is mainly attributed to the stress and strains men and women bear in both their life and work. Although this may help them better prepare for their children’s development, the negative effects on both society and family life cannot be ignored.

总而言之，生孩子的延迟主要是由于男人和女人在生活和工作中承受的压力和压力。尽管这可能有助于他们更好地为孩子的成长做准备，但对社会和家庭生活的负面影响不容忽视。
