A latest survey shows that nearly 60 percent of Hong Kong women expect to
bear two children while nine percent expect none.
As the Mother's Day (May 8) is coming, the Democratic Alliance for Betterment
of Hong Kong (DBA) conducted the survey to raise social concerns about the
special day.
According to the survey, 16.5 percent of the interviewees wish to have one
child, 10.9 percent three and 4.7 percent more than three.
Among those who have no child yet, they are more inclined not to bear a child
or bear just one child.
Nearly 40 percent of the respondents agree that their decisionson bearing a
child rely on two conditions: whether they have time to take care of the
children and whether they are economically strong enough to raise them up.
Over half of the respondents said they stopped working because of bearing
children.
Over the recent years, more and more young couples choose not to bear
children and the fertility-rate in Hong Kong has kept dropping. This has turned
into a social problem, it added
