ABSTRACT

2016 is the peak year for the number of newborns in China in recent years, which means that the domestic labor force will reach its peak around 2040, and it also means that the aging level of the domestic population will intensify year by year. The main reason is the decline in the willingness of young people to have children, and the increasing number of single individuals, delayed marriages, and DINK groups. Behind this are many factors such as economic and social development, improved education levels, changes in social organizational forms, intergenerational transmission, delayed retirement, and parenting costs. Although the overall trend has not yet changed, it has had a certain impact on population policies and economic and social development. Therefore, we need to strengthen the importance of young people's reproductive behavior as an important part of population development strategies.
