Das obige Diagramm zeigt die Wahrscheinlichkeitsverteilung des Alters des Vaters (Alter des Partners auf der Y-Achse) relativ zum Alter der Mutter für alle 3,6 Millionen Kinder, die im Jahr 2024 in den USA geboren wurden. Ich habe dieses Diagramm mit Matplotlib und den gefundenen Daten erstellt Hier. Sie können sehen, dass Frauen im Allgemeinen dazu neigen, Kinder mit Männern zu bekommen, die in ihrem Alter sehr ähnlich sind. Beachten Sie, dass es bei einer Frau im Alter von 50 Jahren nur sehr wenige Geburten gibt, was sich auf die Form der Verteilung auswirkt.

that particular plot style while talking about mothers sure is….a choice
I know it’s not the case, but the larger distribution coloring makes it look like there are more births to mothers in their 50s than in their 20s.
I should call her… wait no
If I’m interpreting this chart correctly, father’s age distribution is wider / higher variance for 50 year old moms than 20 year old moms? Thats the opposite of what id expect. Intuitively, it’s much more common to have young moms with much older dads than it is to have old moms with much younger dads.
Either I’m interpreting this wrong, or the data isn’t reliable (or I’m just mistaken!)
This particular shape reminds me of something about pregnancy.
No wonder girls love guys 5-10 years older than them.
They just hit the right spot
I assume outliers are excluded cause I have a tough time accepting that no 40 year old males ever impregnate a 20 year old woman.
I thought we all agreed not to use ~~labia~~ violin plots anymore.
One thing that is interesting to me, is how this is related to the data about young men being disproportionately single compared to young women. Some people have suggested that it is due to age gap dating. But if that were the case, wouldn’t these age gap relationships show up in the birth data? Since some of them would be getting married and having kids. But according to this data is doesn’t appear anywhere near common enough to cause an „epidemic of singleness“ among young men.
A tip: because both axes use the same unit of measurement, it would be good to make the scales and tick quantization identical.

I’m not going to say what everybody’s thinking.
This is horrible!!!! Make a scatter plot you crazy people!!!!
Can you test the half your age plus seven rule?
How is it all children born in the US if it’s only showing seven ages of mothers? Are 26-year-old mothers included? If so, what category are they in? I think there’s a problem with the way you’ve labelled the x axis
Some ponderous pussies you got there

Is it me, or does it seem like mothers giving birth at 30 have the least likelihood for partners younger than them?
