Answer. Is it not usual over there for women to settle down with a guy a couple of years older than them?
If your original study had five-year cohorts of reproduction starting from 20 years of age, then it might be more indicative of something, than merely "turning 30", especially given that average age for women to have their first child is 29.1 years currently.
Yeah, a 2 year age difference is great for explaining why over a third of these surplus children exist. JFL
Maybe hypergamy isn't taking off as fast as I think it is (kind of sad because less men will do anything about being cucked if the sky isn't falling, it's like a frog being boiled), but it's getting there. I'd love to see a bell curve chart on the age of parents, I bet my life on it being not nearly enough to explain the majority of that whopping more than a third of kids being born in surplus to women. Plus, the majority of Finnish children are born out of wedlock according to your stats, plenty of room for dicking down single mothers with their 3rd child from a different man while the government and Melvin pays for it. It's over for many men.
As to children being born out of wedlock, I believe that's also including long term cohabitating partners who merely haven't gotten married - getting married is not terribly popular in the Nordic countries among young people.
