Abstract

In recent years, China's birth rate has been declining continuously, facing the challenge brought by population structure transformation. Nowadays, housing prices in cities are rising rapidly, while the cost of raising children is also very high, and the two important decisions of childbearing age people, housing and reproduction, occupy a lot of family resources. Therefore, this paper explores the impact of high housing prices on fertility desire and finds that high housing prices will have a negative impact on it. That is to say, high housing prices will "squeeze out" fertility desire. Based on this, this paper puts forward three suggestions: First, adhere to the principle of "houses are for living in and not for speculative investment" to improve residents' living space. Second, we will introduce measures to reduce the cost of childbirth and parenting to reduce the burden of childbirth. The third is to create a good social environment to stimulate the birth rate.
