Analysis of the decline of fertility rate in contemporary China - -Based on the Rebinstein “reasonable choice model for marginal children”

Jing Yue, Fan Yang

Abstract


The data of the seventh census shows that the total fertility rate of Chinese women of childbearing age has fallen below the
warning line, which not only aff ects the population number and structure of the country, but also aff ects the overall social and economic
development of the country. According to lebinstein’s “reasonable choice model of marginal children”, with the development of social
economy, the cost of raising children keeps rising and the benefi ts keep declining, making modern people tend to have late childbearing and
fewer children.

Keywords
