Fox News
Women are giving birth to their first child later in life and a significant number are doing so while unmarried.
The women were distinguished by their education level, and while each group saw a rise in the number of unmarried women giving birth for the first time in their mid-to-late-30s, college-educated women saw significant growth. Among unmarried women who had an associate of arts degree sometime between 2017 and 2018, half reportedly gave birth to their first child, according to Johns Hopkins. That number is nearly three times as many as the private research university recorded in 1996, which was at 17.8% at the time.More Related News
