Detailed explanation-1: -Motherhood and career are dual roles that can add strain on a woman. About 59 percent of new mothers who were in the work force before will return to work before their children reach one year of age.
Detailed explanation-2: -Middle adulthood is the period of development that occurs between the ages of 46-65. During this stage physical changes start to occur that show that the body is ageing. These include the skin starting to lose elasticity and grey hair occurring because of the loss of pigments.
Detailed explanation-3: -Adulthood is divided into three stages: (1) early, (2) middle, and (3) late adulthood. Early adulthood starts at age 18 or 21 and continues until the mid-30s.
