Family Size

1.What are the trends in the size of families in Britain? How have the trends changed from the past up to now?
Acrossing study the size of families in Britrain,I have learned some types of families,construct of families,and why the bigger familiy is very normal before in Britain ,but now they changed.When I looking at the graphs of population on the class, I recognised the size of families in Britrain they are changing now,at the moment family size in Britain became more and more small,they donot have so many children in family,more and more families just have two or three kids,or some families they do not have kids.For explam,I asked my roomate, his family is typical walse family,his grandpa has five kids ,his mother has three kids,his sister just marride ,but they dont want to have a baby, I think there are several reasons for families why they change from past up to now,first of all,in the past the standard of living is not too high,if you want to have a better life you must have more labours in your family,so they could have a lot of kids,when they grow up they can go to work,but now standard of living is much better,people changed their mind,samll family and unclear family become more and more popular.


2.What impact will changes in family size have on an ageing population?
I'm not too sure about this question, I think if the family size become more and more small,so the ageing population will not increased quickly,so the goverment will not need cost a lot of money for the ageing population.

Welcome&Families

Dear Annie
I did some research from internet, also I had asked some questions from my friends.I found a big different opinions in families between Chinese and British.I talked to my girl friend (she is lesbian in China),she told me she has a girlfriend now,but she willnot tell her parents ,and this is will be her last grilfriend,when her grilfriend go to marriage (with a boy),so she will be go to marriage,her parents will never know what had happened before.I asked her," if you married ,you will not love your husband,how can you build a family"?she said ,"nobody could accepts this fact in China at this time,so we can do just like normally people,and dont hurt parents heart".At the same time ,I have asked my friend in Britain ,he is a gay,and everybody knew,and everybody thought that is very common,so I have confuse,why british people could accept this fact hanpped in their country but Chinese cant, this is truth no doubt,people has right to choose what they like ,if the family no love in there,how can be a family?
