Interesting results have been revealed in a recent survey on the ideal age of having first child in various countries around the world. People from 18 countries with moderate income believe that on an average 26.1 years of age is the best for having a first child.
There are also many Muslim countries in 18 countries, which have given information about the right age to produce a child. According to the report of Pew Research Center, the decision to have a child at the age of just 23 in Bangladesh has been justified.
Although, in most Muslim countries, the right age to have a child is said to be between 25 and 27 years, but in some countries a little variation has also been seen in this case.
The people of Tunisia believe that the ideal age is around 30 years, while the people of Argentina consider it around 27.7 years.
According to United Nations data, women in surveyed countries usually become mothers in the late 20s or early 30s.
In some countries, the real birth aged survey is close to the findings. For example, women in Colombia, and Mexico, usually produce their first child at the age of 26. The average age of the first child of women in Chile and Tunisia is 30 years or more.
In most of the countries involved in the survey, people described the ideal age between 25 and 29 years for the birth of the first child. 58 percent of adults in Indonesia believe that this is the right age.
People in Tunisia have different opinions, where the age between 30 and 34 years is considered the ideal age to have a child, and some 16 percent believe that the age of 35 years or more can also be correct.
