About 85 percent of Chinese people surveyed say that housing is a more reliable way to finance retirement than having children, according to a Manulife-Sinochem Life Insurance.

Meanwhile, 67 percent of Chinese female white-collar workers expect to retire early because of the dual stresses of work and daily life, according to the first nationwide "Chinese Middle Class Families Happy Retirement White Paper".
