[quote=JABAROOTOO,252491]DINK is an acronym for 'Double Income No Kids' which is a lifestyle gaining popularity around the world. Perhaps couples are choosing to begin a family at an older age, preferring career and/or travel before taking on the commitment and responsibility of a family. There are still many families in China with three generations living under the same roof. I teach kindergarten to kids from financially upper middle class families and more than 50% of the children who attend are delivered by the grandparents, sometimes in the company of a parent or the Aiyi Perhaps those young couples with no children are happy to live alone but for those with kids there still seems to be a close connection with the grandparents, many of them living in larger apartments or homes with the GP's baby sitting thus allowing the parents to live a DINK lifestyle anyway.
