It's an interesting question for me because you all are a unique subset in this country in that you encourage your young people to get married asap whereas most everyone else is telling them to go and have fun and get married later.

older paternal age is associated with many diseases in offspring. For example schizophrenia. More well-known are the chromosomal defects among children born to older women.
it's not a trivial thing for an entire society to shift its birthing years to the 30s and 40s.
It's arguably a very bad thing.
