Don't be nervous, the United Kingdom have not started to engage in family planning. However, more and more parents one-child. According to official figures assume that by 2020, one-child family will become a majority. The "little emperors" also to United Kingdom again? 80 after trying 2? want to Chinese 80 students second child, and on the weekend China come two students, and LAN, who drink coffee in London. Two year college, is looking for a job or graduate school? is returned or stay is the only child?, parents ' expectations, the responsibility of taking care of their parents, are select balance of weights. Have brothers and sisters, we choose to go back to these predecessors, the pressure to small lot. Thirty years ago, China began to implement a family planning, and now the concept of a family of three people should say in the hearts of the people. However, last year, with two sons back to walking in the street, or subjected to many envy. In February this year, China several media to engage in a "would you like to second child?" survey of readers. Participants 9,000 people, the majority in the age of 25-35 years old. 73.46 percent indicated their willingness to second child, 3.24% of people said that a child did not want to live. Yue said, mother of his son, had made a piece of advice: always sang three children! "little emperors" of the increasingly popular both in China and in the United Kingdom, for a long time, it was generally considered that one should not be willing to choose. Now, this concept is also being challenged. In 1972, 18% of the United Kingdom is the only child that the child has now been increased to 26%. According to the National Statistics Department figures released by the total number of one-child family than the traditional four-member family to more than 50 million. Since 1997, the National Statistics Department launched a "national labour force survey", the regular track 13 million people living in United Kingdom, the observation of the growth of the family. The investigation period, the total number of one-child family 307 million, slightly out-of-two children family of total 295 million; the 2008, 343 million families with one child, 291 million have two children, gap is. In 1997, 42% of United Kingdom family with one child, and now is 46%. Experts forecast that this trend, by 2020, one-child family will become a majority. Husband and wife relationship "JAWS" career women delayed childbearing age social analysts said that select only one of many reasons. One is professional women to postpone childbearing age. Two years ago, 30-34 years old before the birth of the total number of women is more than 25-29 years, the number of birth, some thirty major forties even before birth, the number of years. This part of the people choose one as the cause of family is correct; the other part is because fertility decline, worried mother-child health decided to suffice. Then there is the divorce rate has remained high. Some say that the first child was born after a year of the relationship between husband and wife is the jaws of death. Many couples gave birth to a baby after breaking up, leaving behind a "single parents-child" of emerging social phenomenon. In addition, the cost of raising children is too high. In addition to the number of mouth dinner, many a kindergarten is more difficult to bear the cost. (London, one of the kids all heaven kindergarten fee each month, nearly a thousand pounds). Middle-class parents will also consider sending children to private schools. Although there are figures testify, however, think-tank Civitas of RobertWhelan still think, ideal family mode does not change the fact that there was no evidence that now husband and wife is to bear a child, however, economic pressure is a force factors. He said that it was up to four children, two people, a rich, there is no need to worry about costs; the second is the "proletarian", have to worry about cost, anyway, is the country out of money. Sorry in children? United Kingdom as long as a child may have come from wage-earners of the pressure, to have two children, to three or more children is a dream; as long as a child, economic pressure is small, but the social pressure possible. Chinese parents one apart from helpless, there is no need to worry about what others don't, there's no need to feel sorry kids, select one of the United Kingdom there is no such parents luck. Lucy Kay next door is the midwife, the husband is a doctor, both only a six-year-old daughter. By Kay dew words, if the past few years all asked her "what time health square?, why not health square?" will give her a pound, she may have become a Tycoon. Select only one of United Kingdom parents often feel that others often revealed in the talk, I talk to let their guilt means: is not a force to be healthy but I am afraid a tire, a bit selfish. Kai Lo said that she is not selfish, but more realistic, one is to ensure the happiness of all family members. She gave birth to a daughter, Kay dew several years away from postpartum depression, she is not willing to risk breaking the current balance. Moreover, only a child, she can put in more effort, time, give the children more and better opportunities. There are three long two short? over the past few years, get to know many new mothers. Gossip summed, between the United Kingdom against one-child of reason and China are the same: the child has a long two short? take care of their parents ' responsibility in a child's shoulders; parents dead child in the world is easier to putted; one child personality handicapped, etc. There are more than two children which part of the Foundation is not secure. For example, worried about a child out of the three long two short, if such a pessimistic attitude towards life, it has nothing to do; parents died-child in the world without blood? who can guarantee that, between brothers and sisters do not become the enemy?-child character flawed also lack scientific basis.
