According to Chinese unique and profound cultural background, experts in China combine with international children cost-utility theory and divide the cost of raising a child in China into economic cost, opportunity cost and psychological cost. In the mean time, they divide the utility of children into economic utility, expected insurance utility and happy utility. On the base of the related research, the most important influencing factor of the desire of the second-child birth is child raising cost which will have a significant impact on reproductive decisions.
