There are a number of reasons, but two major reasons are:They don't have access to birth controlFamilies will have children to help support them when the children are old enough.
They usually live to 18 and then they turn into women.
It can happen, it is often called unusual because most women tend to have children earlier on in their live but it is by no means, impossible in any way. As long as the woman has not gone through menopause, she can still have children, that is, if she is fertile. Women tend not to have children later on in their lives as the older women become, the more likely it is for the child to develop abnormalities, or to be subject to illnesses such as downsyndrome, etc.
Men live to 79 years old. Women live a little over 86 years old.

No. Life span was shorter. Today a man will live until 72 or more and a woman 84 or more. If you were alive in the 1300's the life span was about 30 years old. Most died younger through illness, accidents, wars. In the 1700's a man 50 was considered old and many women died young in childbirth. There was a saying in the colonies of a man introducing a wife as his "now wife." This referred to the fact that many women died young having children. If children lived past 2 years old it was often a miracle, so families were large because children died at young ages. Diet and health care has raised the life span of every person. People, for the most part, live better than generations in the past.
