北京大学社会人口学教授李建新表示,现在的年轻人,尤其是城市长大的年轻人,不大可能不考虑这一决定所要面临的经济挑战而冒然决定要二胎.

　　LiJianxin,aprofessorofsocialdemographyatPekingUniversity,saysthattheyoungergeneration,especiallythoselivingincities,areunlikelytohavemorechildrenwithoutfirstconsideringtheeconomicchallengesthatdecisionmightbring.

　　“80后一代人的生活方式和观点与50后、60后有着明显的不同,”李教授说,“多数人不想要那么多孩子,孩子的健康更重要.”

　　25岁的上海摄影师原田只有1个1岁大的女儿.考虑到抚养1个孩子的成本以及生孩子对自己事业发展所造成的挑战,她觉得1个孩子就足够了.

　　“生孩子对我的事业影响很大,”她说,“重新回到岗位后,我要花几个月的时间才能赶上同事的步伐.而且也不能把全部精力都集中在工作上,我不得不早点离开办公室去照顾女儿.”
