First Baby

Did you ever wonder at what age the average girl has her first child?  Well, it is a very big deal.  That is what this blog is about.

You can go find your own statistics, but here are few to think about.  The poorest and most over populated countries in the world also have children at the youngest ages. I broad terms, in Africa, the average age that girls have their first child is less than 20 years.  In the wealthiest countries that have the highest quality of life, the age of when girls have their first child is above 30 years.  Did you ever ask the Catholic church what their position is regarding the age that mothers should have their first child?  I did not think so!  They want more breeding under all conditions so that they can get the most members.

In most countries that are more wealthy and where the quality of life is better, they are waiting longer and longer to have their first child.  The affect is that their populations are growing slower or even going down while the poorer countries are breeding more and getting poorer.  With all the concern about global warming, ask who is doing more to slow global warming? 

Here in the USA we are starting to see two groups forming on the basis of when girls have their first child.  The poorest have children at younger ages while the more well off are having their first child later in life.  As this continues what will happen is a much larger difference between haves and have nots.  That is a fact.  I know of some professional women who have waited so long to have their first child that they are having problems getting pregnant.  That is a concern to some.  If you include in the data those who have children out of wedlock, the picture looks even worse.  Take the example of Blacks, who have a very high percentage of their children out of wedlock and at the youngest ages of the mothers.  Until that turns around, there is zero hope for this segment of our population no mater what other government programs are pushed.

Think about it!
