The Features of fertility of women aged 35 to 39
Section: DEMOGRAPHY AND PROCESSES OF POPULATION REPRODUCTION
Language: Ukrainian
Abstract: In Ukraine in 2008 childbearing activity of women aged 35 to 39 was more than twice higher as
to its level in 2001. As a result, in 2008 age-specific fertility rate for women aged 35 to 39 was
19.7 per 1,000 women, compared with 9 in 2001. During 2001–2008 their contribution to the
total fertility rate was significantly increased also. In the context of different wants competition
the advanced fertility level of women aged 35 to 39 can be seen as recognition of the true value
of children for generation, which represent these women. Their fertility rose mainly due to the
second parity births. The percentage of the first parity children born by women aged 35 and older,
does not exceed 1.8% of all first-borns in Ukraine. In the view of increasing of the mean age of
mother at birth the process of the concentration of births in age women groups after 35 will be
enlarged. It challenges health care sphere to improve quality of medical services, particularly
in the reproductive area. This level is significantly lower than the level in the most of European
countries. In the distribution of children by birth order for 35–39-year-olds mothers the second
parity children are twice as much as first-borns and triply more than third parity. This fact and
special socio-demographic sample survey of population in childbearing age in Ukraine “Family
and Children, 2008”, show the strengthening of the reproductive attitudes towards two-child
family model.
Key words: fertility; late motherhood; motherhood aging; structure of fertility.
