Abstract

In recent years, the fertility rate of China’s population has continued to decline, which will cause security risks for national and social development, Urban and rural background is a significant factor affecting the fertility willingness of young people. Therefore, based on the Chinese General Social Survey (CGSS) data in 2018, by constructing the benchmark model and the mediation effect model, the relationship between Chinese urban and rural origin and youth fertility willingness was empirically analyzed and tested. The results found that, firstly, the fertility intention among urban youth is lower than rural youth. Secondly, The number of houses and marital status mediates the effect of urban and rural origin on young people’s fertility intention. Thirdly, class identity does not have an intermediary effect on the urban and rural influence on youth fertility intention. Fourthly, the urban and rural origin can significantly affect the number of youth properties, marital status, and class identity. Therefore, the country needs to accelerate the implementation of the rural revitalization strategy. The government needs to reduce the birth burden of young families. The enterprises should follow the real estate policy and strive to coordinate with the fertility policy. Moreover, society should guide young people to form the correct concept of marriage and childbearing.
