Wang Sha, 29, is mother of a five-year-old boy and a seven-month-old girl. She agreed that having siblings is good for children but said it was also stressful.

"It brings a big challenge financially, and it requires a lot of time to raise two children, so we will not have a third baby even if a policy allows us to do so," said Wang, a housewife in Beijing.

According to the survey, though 47 percent of parents have husbands that help more with the child-raising after a second child, 57 percent of wives said they had to quit their jobs to take care of the children.

Dong Yuzheng, director of the Guangdong Academy of Population Development, said the survey could assuage many people's concerns about having a second child, but it also showed problems that needed to be solved with assistance from government.

"Related issues, including employment policies, education policies and the establishment of various public facilities, should be properly designed under social governance," Dong said.
