The average age at which women are having babies has risen to nearly 30 years, highlighting a significant societal shift. According to a CDC report, this age increased from 28.7 in 2016 to 29.6 in 2023. First-time mothers also saw an increase in average age. Teen pregnancies have decreased, making up only 8.7% of births. Delayed marriage, higher living costs, and women's financial independence contribute to these trends, as many women prioritize career and personal goals over early motherhood.
The new report shows that the average age for women giving birth has risen to nearly 30, reflecting broader societal shifts in family planning.
As marriage rates continue to decline for younger adults, financial independence among women is reshaping traditional family dynamics and timelines.
