Abstract To understand the willingness of medical staff and their spouses to have the second child. Methods: The cluster sampling method was used to survey 500 medical workers who had one child. The background information of the general situation of the medical workers and their spouse was collected, and the willingness to give birth to the second child was analyzed. Results: 47.7% respondents would have the second child. There is no significant difference in the proportion of willing to have the second child among the respondents with different gender, with different growth environments, with different educational levels, and with different gender of the first child (P>0.05), but there was significant difference in the proportion of willing to have the second child among the respondents with different numbers of siblings（P<0.05）. With the age increasing of the wives, the proportion of willing to have the second child of the respondents gradually decreased significantly (P<0.05). The proportion of selected boy or girl as the ideal gender of the second child was the highest, but the proportion of selected boy as the ideal gender of the second child was the lowest. There was no significant difference in the proportion of the ideal gender of the second child among the respondents with different gender, and respondents with different growth environment (P>0.05). There was significant difference in the proportion of the ideal gender of the second child between the respondents with different gender of the first child (P>0.05). The rate of having the second child within three years based on the two child policy was only 24.47%. Conclusion: The proportion of having the second child within 3 years is low, so the government should improve the relevant system to promote the birth rate of the second child.
