Summary
In this group, infertility diagnoses have increased significantly worldwide between 1990 and 2023, the group writes: from around 27 million to almost 54 million. “People have children at an older age due to longer periods of study, economic insecurity and youth unemployment,” explained Éva Beaujouan of the University of Vienna. Women between the ages of 35 and 49 are particularly affected. By 2036, there could be around 80 million, according to a predominantly Chinese research team in the journal "The Lancet Obstetrics, Gynaecology, Women's Health".
Furthermore, “The success of a pregnancy depends largely on the age of the egg.” It is recommended to freeze the eggs at the age of 25. From the age of 35 years, the egg reserve and the quality of the egg cells decrease significantly, explained Beda Hartmann from the Sigmund Freud Private University Vienna. A state must invest sufficiently in reliable child care and supportive infrastructure, "so that every person who wants to have children can do so at the age he or she wants.".
In addition, The researchers see one cause in the fact that many women only want to have children at a significantly older age than before – and then it does not work because of age-related infertility with a pregnancy. More and more women around the world are seeking help because they do not get pregnant naturally.
