PrintIt's been nearly a year since couples in Shanghai were encouraged to have a second child,as long as one parent is the only child. But so far, the policy has delivered results, far lowerthan city authorities expected.
By the end of 2014, over 16-thousand of Shanghai's 370-thousand eligible couples hadapplied for a second child. The application rate is just over 4 percent; much lower than thenational average of 9 percent. It is not just a single issue for Shanghai.
Across China, only 700-thousand eligible couples have applied for a second child since thefamily planning policy was relaxes earlier last year. This figure is just one-third of what theauthorities expected.
