One social reason for women delaying childbirth is the increased focus on education and career development. Many women pursue higher education and establish their careers before starting a family, leading to a later age at which they choose to have children.
An economic reason is the rising cost of living, which can make it challenging to support a family at a younger age. Women may prefer to wait until they feel financially secure, which often means delaying childbirth until they have stable jobs and adequate savings.
