THE city is still waiting to hear whether it can alter the one-child policy and allow residents to have larger families.
Local population experts have been in talks on loosening the policy with government departments, but so far there is no timetable.
However, Xie Lingli, director of the Shanghai Population and Family Planning Commission, said the city was ready to act whenever an announcement was made.
Shanghai has had an extremely low birth rate for years, the commission said, and the ratio of old people to young was greater than in the rest of the country.
