YEREVAN. - Having many children is the pillar of a strong family,
and the pillar of having many children is the strength of the family
and the institute of marriage. But, now, we have a problem in Armenia
because our brides have gotten older by five years, sociologist Aharon
Adibekyan stated during a press conference on Wednesday.
In his words, in the case when the average age of a bride in Armenia
was 20-21, this has reached 28, now. "And when a woman gives birth
at an older age, her health condition does not allow her to have many
kids," Adibekyan said.
He added that gender equality leads to the fact that the woman chooses
career instead of having a family and children, and this stands in
the way of having kids. "If the government adopts a law to set up at
least a minimum amount for families with many children, we will have
a different picture," Aharon Adibekyan proposed.
