Median age at first birth (women ages 25-49): Q5 (highest)

This indicator reflects the median age at which women aged 25 to 49 experience their first childbirth, providing valuable insights into societal trends related to family planning and childbearing. A higher median age often indicates shifts in cultural attitudes towards marriage and parenting, including increased participation in higher education, career prioritization, and access to contraceptive methods. It can also highlight economic factors influencing decisions about starting a family, such as job stability and housing affordability. Understanding this demographic trend is essential for policymakers and social researchers, as it affects population dynamics, healthcare planning, and the provision of family support services designed to cater to the specific needs of parents in this age group.
