Postponed childbearing: a cross-sectional study of differences between subjective and objective factors
Postponed childbearing is influenced by a combination of subjective perceptions and objective factors. Socio-economic status, career goals, and psychological influences, all contribute significantly to the choice of postponing childbearing. These findings highlight the importance of addressing both the health and socio-economic challenges faced by women, emphasizing the need for policies that support women in balancing career, family, and reproductive health.
