These days people tend to have their babies in their later age rather than in their 
earlier 
years
. There are several reasons for this tendency, and disadvantages of 
having children in their later age exist. 
One reason for why people decide to have their children when they get old
er
is a 
change in the structure of family. People used to live with their parents and/or 
grandparents
in a big family; therefore, a young couple can receive physical and 
financial support from other 
family
members. However, nowadays many people live 
without such supports and need to take care of their children by themselves. To do so, 
a couple must be 
financially
and physically independent, resulting in a delayed timing 
of having children. Another reason could be a 
lifestyle
change. Young people may 
want to enjoy their life without being bothered by raising their children. 
The disadvantage would outweigh the 
advantage
of having children in the later age. 
One most significant disadvantage is a high risk of having a disabled baby. As 
maternal and/or paternal age increases, an egg in the ovary and sperms are likely to 
be genetically injured. Especially, if maternal age is older than 30 years old, the 
chance of having a baby with disability will exponentially increase as the age 
increase

conclusion
, although people tend to have their children in their later age, the 
tendency may result in a reduced chance of having healthy babies without any
