Shanghai is likely to experience a short-lived baby boom, but the city will not solve the problem of its aging population anytime soon, an expert said after the city relaxed its one-child policy on Tuesday.

Zhou Haiwang, deputy director of the Institute of Urban and Population Development Studies at the Shanghai Academy of Social Science, said the policy change will bring a sharp rise in the city's total population, but the proportion of residents over 60 will keep growing.

"The baby boom is expected to last for two to three years," Zhou said. "But the city will continue to have an imbalanced population structure."

On Tuesday, Shanghai's legislature followed its counterparts in other areas, including Beijing, Tianjin, Zhejiang, Jiangxi and Anhui, to approve an amendment of the law to allow couples to have a second child if either parent is an only child.

The rule will go into effect on March 1, with the added stipulation that at least one of the prospective parents must possess a Shanghai hukou, or household registration.

"The revision will help improve the city's imbalanced population structure," said Xu Jianguang, director of the Shanghai Health and Family Planning Commission.

Under the new policy, about 400,000 more families in the city will be eligible to have a second baby, and demographers said an additional 20,000 babies could be born in the next three years.

But Zhou said Shanghai will see a drop in births from 2016, when the number of women at prime childbearing age will decrease by 30 percent and the baby boom stimulated by the new policy ends. But the proportion of elderly residents will keep rising, he said.

According to the Shanghai Health and Family Planning Commission, the city has more than 3.6 million registered residents aged 60 and older, more than 25 percent of the population. By 2020, the ratio may rise to one-third.

Authorities said they are prepared for the baby boom expected from the new policy.

But both official and unofficial figures suggest that few couples in Shanghai are keen on having a second child, due in large part to the cost of raising children.

Before the policy change, there were more than 2 million couples in the city already eligible to have a second child, as both of the couples were the only child in their family. However, in the past five years, fewer than 8,000 families gave birth to a second baby, according to the Shanghai Health and Family Planning Commission.

A survey conducted by the news portal Sina.com in 2013 found that about 70 percent of the 1,200 Shanghai residents polled said they did not want another child. The main reason given was the cost of raising another child.

Questions:

1. What happened in Shanghai this week to affect the population?

2. What is predicted for the next few years?

3. How many families will be eligible to have a second baby?

Answers:

1. The city relaxed its one-child policy on Tuesday.

2. Shanghai is likely to experience a short baby boom.

3. About 400,000 more families in the city.
