Childfree news from around the world

More than half of Japanese women over the age of 30 don't have kids. What they do have are really cool cell phones.

Attention all Procreative Procrastinators! (That would be the childfree who are simply putting off having babies until they write a novel, buy a second home, become CEO, lose 15 pounds ...) According to a new Harvard Medical Study on Centaurians, women who have children in their 40s are more likely to live longer. That is, if you can have kids in your 40s. Check it:

We concluded that if you are a woman who naturally had a child in her forties, you are four times more likely to live to 100 years old rather than dying at the age of 73. However, we believe that it is not the act of having a child in your forties that promotes long life, but rather that having a child late in life is an indicator that the woman's reproductive system is aging slowly. A slow rate of aging would therefore bode well for the woman's subsequent ability to achieve very old age.

And from Glasgow, researchers say childfree workers should be given the same kinds of flexible schedules afforded to parents.

It's crazy to know that japanees woman have cool cell phone but not kids...

I think women should have kids when they young. So, they have the energy to take good care of them. If they have kids when they old, they may not have the energy to give them the atention they deserved.
