It is often heard that a single child is like to be a lonely child. There are no other children in the family for the child to talk or play with.

The same can be seen in the UK. In Japan, the average number of children born per family had gone down to 1.42 by 1996.

For other people, money is their first consideration. Many couples in Japan choose not to have large families as the cost of supporting a child up to the age of 18 reaches around US$160,000. Question: What do people not think about when they choose to have a second child? Options: A: time B: energy C: money D: food
