A Study on the Influencing Factors of Fertility Rate in China

Abstract

Over the past 40 years of reform and opening up, the family planning policy, as a basic state policy of China, has had a very profound impact on the development of the Chinese economy. Due to the dropping fertility rate in recent years, the birth rate has once again been under intense public scrutiny. To comprehend the reasons for the reduction in fertility, we must comprehend the variables that affect the fertility rate. It was discovered that the fundamental demographic position of the nation is influenced by the economy, education, and the state's fertility policy. By developing regression equations and examining the generated mathematical models, this research comes to the conclusion that the rates of female illiteracy, the elderly dependency ratio, the juvenile dependency ratio, and elderly dependency have a major impact on fertility rates. This study will assist the government in determining what can be done to raise the rate of fertility.
