What's The Average Age At Which People Has Their First Child, Nowadays?

I think the average age for having your first child is about 27 years old.

The average age that people have their first child depends on their income.  If they are low income, some but not all of them) are going to have their first child at 14-years-old.  In addition to that, they will have lots of them... that will prevent them from being in the work force and living off of welfare.  To make matters even better, each child will have a different father.  Different sources of income... hey can't beat THAT!  LOL.

The average age for  women giving birth for the first time works out to be a lot higher than 15!

In fact for many years now, women have been waiting longer and longer to have their first child, possibly due to the need to establish a stable career etc in order to support any family.

Statistics show that in the UK alone there are now more first-time mothers in the 30-34 age group than in the 25-29 age group!
Also, it has been shown that there is a 50% increase from ten years ago in the number of women over 40 years old who are now having babies.

Thus, in respect to these figures, the mean age for a woman having their first child in the UK, despite the hundreds of young teen mothers, is from about 27 to 29 years of age.

I think that the average age is around 15-16.

I think the average age is probably mid 20's to early 30's. I had my first child at 28 and my second at 31.

People now a days are having them under 22 years, but nomal people have them in late 20s early 30s

We're talking about the average age to have your first child.The average is not 15 or 16 but probably 25-30.

The average age is 25.3 i looked it up!

Kids are too expensive...  The government doesn't want you to have them - which is why they keep raising the cost of everything.

20

15? Are you guys joking? He said AVERAGE age. If you don't know what an AVERAGE is than you should take a math class. How many people do you know that had a kid at 15? I'm guessing it's not very many. I personally don't know any. We'll say 1 for posterity's sake. How many from 20-25. I know about 3. 25-30? I know about 5. That would bring the AVERAGE to... About 24. My guess is the people answering 15 are all 15-year-olds themselves because the only people they know are 15 and therefore, the only people they know that have had children are also 15.

I'm going to say it - 15..when ppl have their first child..too young if you ask me..
