With Alistair Darling set to announce the new Budget tomorrow and the cost of raising a child in the UK soaring to more than 186,000, new survey findings announced by popular preschool TV channel Nick Jr discover how today’s parents are saving for their offspring’s future. Nick Jr’s study of over 800 parents found that almost two fifths are not actively saving for their children’s future (37.1% ). Over half of all families questioned from the North East admitted they weren’t saving, while Londoners were most likely to be investing in one way or another.
With private schooling setting back parents up to 130,500 and the cost of sending a child to university typically reaching 47,000, education is unsurprisingly the biggest financial concern, with 23.8% of UK parents saving for school or university fees. The survey revealed that Dads are more likely than Mums to prefer riskier investment options, putting their money into stocks and shares (14.6%) and property (9.8%). These choices were also favored by younger parents, who were additionally by far the most likely to invest in a child pension (44.4%).
6.3% of parents are opting to save for their child’s first car, especially those parents in older age groups. Families living in Wales were also over four times as likely to invest for their offspring’s first set of wheels (10.3%) as those in the South West (2.4%), where they were least likely to be saving for their child’s first car. Only one in ten parents in Wales are saving for educational fees, compared with almost a third of parents in London and Northern regions.
Parents from Yorkshire are the least likely to invest in stocks and shares, at only 2.5% of those questioned. Property investments are popular with Londoners (26.6%), but parents in the North West and Wales are less likely to put their children’s money into this volatile (反复无常的) market (2.7% and 2.6% respectively).
In December, it was found that the average cost of raising a child in the UK from birth to the age of 21 had soared to 186,032, which is set to rise to 265,500 in 2012. However, despite parents investing increasing amounts of money on their children’s welfare, only 44.3% of those surveyed felt that their children have more opportunities in life than they did. [br] As to the investment for their children’s first car, ______.
选项
A、younger parents do more than the older ones
B、parents in Wales were least to do it
C、families in the South West hold the least possibility
D、one out of ten families in Northern regions will do it
答案
C
解析
细节处设题。由原文“英国西南地区家庭(2.4%),最不想为自己孩子第一辆车储蓄”可以推测C含义与之吻合,故为答案。
