Abstract:
The level of young people’s fertility desire is related to the development trend of our country’s future population. Using the questionnaire survey method, this paper explores the intergenerational influence of parents’ education level on the fertility i desire of contemporary college students. It is found that the fertility desire of contemporary college students is low, which is lower than the generation replacement level. The higher the education level of the father and the mother, the lower the fertility desire and fertility behavior, that is, the education level inhibited the fertility desire and fertility behavior. There is a significant positive correlation between the father’s fertility desire and fertility behavior. The higher the education level of the mother, the lower the fertility desire of the children of the students, but the education level of the father did not affect the fertility desire of the children of college students. This study can provide a basis for exploring the relationship between education level and fertility desire.
青年群体的生育意愿的高低关乎我国未来人口的发展趋势。采用问卷调查法以某高校大学生及其父母为研究对象,探究父母受教育水平对当代大学生生育意愿的代际影响。研究发现当代大学生的生育意愿偏低,低于世代更替水平;父亲、母亲的受教育水平越高生育意愿和生育行为越低,即受教育水平对生育意愿和生育行为起抑制作用;且父亲的生育意愿和生育行为间呈显著正相关;母亲的受教育水平越高大学生子女的生育意愿越低,但父亲的受教育水平却并未影响大学生子女的生育意愿。本研究可为探究受教育水平与生育意愿间的关系提供依据。
