Abstract
The struggle women face in balancing work and family roles is a significant factor contributing to the decline in their fertility intentions. Therefore, work-family conflict serves as a crucial determinant influencing women’s fertility intentions. This study aims to explore the internal mechanism between work-family conflict and the fertility intentions of Chinese women, using data obtained from 334 questionnaires. Data analysis was conducted using Mplus 8.0. The following conclusions were drawn: (1) There is a negative correlation between work-family conflict and women’s fertility intentions. (2) Fertility attitudes play a mediating role in the relationship between work-family conflict and women’s fertility intentions. (3) The relationship between work-family conflict and women’s fertility intentions is moderated by income class. (4) The relationship between work-family conflict and women’s fertility intentions is moderated by women’s child-rearing burden. The findings of this study provide a foundation for governments at all levels to formulate population policies.
