Two Child Policy - China - July 2010

Under the strain of a rapidly-ageing population, China has eased its one-child policy. Yet a two-class system endures for the migrant workers whose children are not welcome in the city of Shanghai.
Despite labour shortages and a rising demand for care for the elderly, many city couples say they won't be taking advantage of the two-child allowance: "raising one child is expensive enough". Meanwhile, the migrant nannies so common in Shanghai, pine for their children, forbidden from the city. According to the Family Planning Burea, "they're not our responsibility".
