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

　　There are three main factors contributing to the postponed parenthood. 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 emphasise the promotion in career, and thus spare little time for a stable marriage life which is viewed as a significant element for rearing children.

　　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.

　　However, the low birthrate will cause an increase in ageing 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 ageing society with a low birthrate is likely to encounter labour shortage.

　　To summarise, the delay in having children is mainly attributed to the stresses 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.

　　在现代世界,年轻人更愿意抚养孩子在他们的生活。本文将主要分析潜在的原因,以及它将如何影响社会和家庭生活。

　　有三个主要因素导致了推迟生育。一般来说,承受巨大压力的人从他们的工作不太可能准备提前分娩,考虑到他们可能没有时间参加他们的孩子。这个问题也可以归咎于现代生活的高成本。年轻人没有足够的储蓄可能会怕高生活成本和昂贵的学费。另一个原因是在平衡工作和生活的困难。越来越多的年轻人强调促进职业生涯,因此很少空闲时间对于一个稳定的婚姻生活,抚养孩子被视为一个重要的元素。

　　不可否认,晚育年轻夫妇能够提供更多的时间准备他们的家庭的新成员。他们需要学习如何抚养孩子之前就决定要孩子。此外,如果他们延迟分娩,他们可以提供更多的经济支持孩子的抚养和教育。

　　然而,低出生率会导致人口老龄化的增加。众所周知,大多数医疗需求和成本发生在生命的最后几年。因此,年轻人不得不面对需要照顾老人的家庭成员。从社会的`角度来看,由于劳动力的年龄结构转变,老龄化社会的低出生率可能会遇到劳动力短缺。

　　总结,推迟生孩子主要归因于压力和紧张的男性和女性在他们的生活和工作。尽管这可能帮助他们更好地准备他们的孩子的发展,两个社会上的负面影响和家庭生活是不容忽视的。
