Regarding Luxembourg and the two Asian nations, they accounted for the longest time to reach maximum salary, as teachers need at least 30 years in Luxembourge, and 37 years in Japan. Hence, the ultimate payment in these countries were also the largest, especially in Luxembourg, as teachers were paid 80,000 in the first year, and over 50,000 higher in the last year working. However, with Japan and Korea, workers need to work with the payment of 34, 000 and 30.000 at first, the received the increment of about 20,000 after 15 years before reaching the second and third highest rank of income: 86,000 and 62,000 respectively.

By contrast, with the lowest starting point, Australia paid teachers in secondary and high school almost 30,000 only, and that increased by 20,000 only when reaching the highest record after 9 years working.

The minimum age of gaving birth is increasing over time in both developed and developing nations. This trend may be the result of the harder life compared to the past, as well as the significant development of social media. That may be beneficial for couples, and individuals while raising their offspring, however, there are some risks of the children having birth defects due to the old age of their parents.

Initiallly, the major cause of having children later than previous time could be, firstly, the more difficult life. It is clear that almost every aspects in the current is more complex than it used to, forcing people to focus more on themself before thinking about marriage and giving birth. To give a brief example, to seek for job successfully, young people have to spend a great deal of time studying at schools, which may last at least 10 years; and enroll in varieties of courses, curiculums, projects, etc to gain necessary experience serving for their future work; regardless the time finding information and applying for work in the increasing competive employment markets.

To brief, more complicated life and inovative social media may result in the rising age of having children, which could help parents raising their offspring physically better, but contribute to the higher chances of congenital defects in children at the same time.
