Babies later in life

In Stockholm, Sweden the trend is to have babies later and later in life.

More and more women give birth after they have
turned forty. 12,5 percent are forty or older

The trend is strong and fuelled with more women
getting up to three children.

Today three or more children brings higher status.
People want to be different and not just get two
kids as everybody else..

Get a education first then children seems to be the
new way of life.


With older parents kids get better health, parents
are usually higher educated, smoke less and have a
more quiet life style

Kids with older parents also do better in school
and parents divorce less often

Sounds great, only problem might be that
grandchildren won't have the time to get to know
their grandparents.
