If you had your first child age 35 (I think the official limit before physicians consider you late for having children), at 50 your oldest child will be 15.
- Zikes 11y agoShow me the data. Here's mine: https://www.census.gov/newsroom/cspan/childbearing/20120817_cspan_childbearing_slides.pdf https://www.census.gov/newsroom/cspan/childbearing/20120817_... 75% of women have their first child before age 30.
- fibbery 11y agoSure, but a population of 'all women' is different than the comment you are replying to, which was specifically addressing female executives. Here's the data for that, which supports their conclusion - over 50% have their first child in their 30s. http://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2015/01/15/for-most-highly-educated-women-motherhood-doesnt-start-until-the-30s/ http://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2015/01/15/for-most-hig...
- Zikes 11y agoThat definitely supports their assertion, thank you.
