Abstract:

The paper analyzes publications by investigators from different countries with an emphasis on the planning of late childbearing. It discusses the causes of this phenomenon in modern society and the effects of advanced maternal age on adverse reproductive outcomes. The authors present the relevant researches on the long-term consequences of late motherhood, which show that late childbearing is unassociated with its negative impact on the mental and emotional development of children. The paper gives specialists’ views on the increased infertility risk related to female age. It is concluded that the need for assisted reproductive technologies is increasing for women of late reproductive age.

Keywords:

late childbearing
late reproductive age
assisted reproductive technologies
