Abstract

The development of science, improvement of medical services and the emergence of new reproductive technologies have contributed to the spread among Ukrainian women of the European demographic trend of increasing birth age, including the first birth (Aksonova, 2019). Thus, according to the State Statistics Service of Ukraine, the average age of a mother at the birth of the first child was 25.9 years old (from 23.4 in Zakarpatska region to 29.2 in Kyiv). The desire to achieve career success, to succeed as a person, the lack of a flexible work schedule along with the reduction in the number of public institutions for children, as well as the social insecurity of young families are the reasons that often force women to delay childbearing to 30-35 years old or more.
