A British study showed a surprising result. 60% of couples in the country pleaded not afford to have a second child due to cost.
The study was conducted by insurance company Aviva. There are 1,000 parents with children under 22 years of age, who were respondents in the study. Nearly two in three parents surveyed said they do not have enough money to have a second child. Moreover, now known to raise a child from birth until they are 21 years the cost is £ 270,000.
These costs to buy a variety of needs ranging from nappies / diapers, shoes, doctors, new bicycle, school, tutoring, and others.
The cost of the above will further swell if the parents want to give their children a holiday abroad or private education. Additional costs could reach £ 8.000.
When asked the reason why these parents do not want to have a second child, 58 percent said cost was the main reason. Meanwhile, those who already had two children, there are 64% who claimed could not have a third child.
