Many city-dwellers across China reacted with scorn when the government announced plans this week to allow couples to have three children instead of two, in a scramble to stave off the effects of a greying population.
A flood of comments on social media pointed to the high cost of owning an apartment, expensive school fees, and long work hours that make it tough enough to raise one child, let alone three.
In the rural district of Fengxian, about 50 km (31 miles) from the center of the commercial hub of Shanghai, people are also hesitant to give birth to more children - even those who already have more than one, still a rare practice in China.
