When a woman gives birth - it depends on the nature

Women with a broad view of life having children much later than the more neurotic and anxious mother. Such an interesting conclusion reached by scientists.

Researchers from the Institute of Social and Economic Research UK noticed an interesting connection between type of character   women and the age at which it is decided for the first child. So the more open and honest ladies give birth to children much later than women with neurotic character as well as the typical extrovert.

Under the attention of scientists got 16 thousand mothers. The researchers wanted to find out whether there is any link between fertility, education and character properties. To begin we identified five types of personality: conscientious, neurotic, open, prone to compromise and extraverted. These types were compared with the age at which women first birth .

Study author Lara Travers drew attention to the fact that, on average, educated women gave birth to first child two years later than the less educated. And to better understand the difference in years it allows analysis of the nature.

"The properties of the individual human influence on his education and a decision on the birth of children, - says Dr. Travers. - People with a broader view not so much feeling the public pressure, which requires them to birth. They tend to be more diverse interests in life, they are not so much focused on the family. Therefore, value their careers more, and then paying for later birth of his baby the wrong system.
