Is it selfish to choose to have only one child? | SBS Insight

The number of single-child families has almost doubled over the past 40 years. Couples facing mounting financial pressures, infertility and not having enough social support contribute to the growing trend — yet stereotypes about only children being spoilt and selfish remain.

Insight airs Tuesdays at 8:30pm on SBS: http://www.sbs.com.au/news/insight​

Insight, hosted by Kumi Taguchi, is Australia's leading forum for powerful first-person stories offering a unique perspective on the way we live.

Insight first went to air in 1995 and has since been a mainstay of SBS current affairs programming. The team doesn't shy away from taboo topics: from polygamy, to brain implants, to the secrets revealed on the deathbed.
