Of them, the top six are all related to children, according to the poll conducted by the Family Development Research Center of Fudan University.
   Cultivating a child's hobbies is ranked at the top of the list, with tutoring coming in second and early childhood education taking third place, according to the survey, which polled nearly 2,300 households in Shanghai.
   While a couple usually would be willing to pay excessively for the benefit of their children, they often set aside their own needs, said Shen Yifei, director of the research center, adding that many couples also have to take care of elderly family members.
   Shanghai is the country's first major city to face an aging society, with the number of its residents age 60 and above currently at 4. 14 million—or nearly 30 percent of its population, compared With 15.5 percent nationally.
