Shanghai residents reluctant to have 2nd child, survey shows

Shanghai people who were born in the 1980s are not rushing to have a second baby, with 40 percent of them saying one child is enough, according to a new survey.

This survey was conducted by Fudan University as part of the university's study of the Yangtze River Delta's social transformation. The survey's goal is to explore the attitudes of people born in the 1980s in the Yangtze River area and their feelings toward family, marriage, employment, migration, housing, childbearing, child education and care for aged parents.

The research team has finished the survey in Shanghai, collecting 2,367 questionnaires.
