Abstract
Educational attainment has been recognized by a wide range of scholars as being significantly related to fertility intentions, which gradually decline as educational attainment rises. In this study, we analyzed the factors affecting the fertility intentions of 401 highly educated young people of childbearing age aged 22-30 with bachelor's degree or above in China through a questionnaire survey and interviews with a random sample of young people of childbearing age with bachelor's degree or above in China. The results show that: fertility intention is significantly correlated with all the factors in this study, and can show a certain upward trend influenced by the current economic conditions, the reduction of damage to childbearing, government welfare policies, partner's willingness and support, and the impact on life and career. The study shows that traditional attitudes and other people's willingness have a lower impact on the highly educated people. Improving the level of available medical technology, reducing the risk of fertility among highly educated young people of childbearing age, increasing partner approval and support, and strengthening the supporting measures for fertility packages are the keys to increasing fertility intentions.
