ABSTRACT

At present, China's fertility rate continues to decline, fertility willingness is low, and the problem of low fertility has attracted the attention of all sectors of society. As a social culture, the concept of gender role provides an important reference for solving the problem of low fertility rate in China. From the perspective of gender, this paper uses the CGSS22021 data to explore the influence of gender role concept on fertility willingness by using the ordered Logit model. It is found that: (1) The concept of gender role has a significant positive influence on fertility willingness.  (2) Gender role concept has different effects on fertility willingness of different gender groups, and gender role concept has more significant influence on fertility willingness of female groups. (3) The concept of gender role has different influences on the fertility desire of different household registration groups, and the influence of gender role concept on the fertility desire of rural residents is more significant. (4) The concept of gender role has different influences on the fertility willingness of groups with different educational levels, and the influence of gender role concept on the fertility willingness of groups with different educational levels shows an inverted U-shape change. Accordingly, on the one hand, the government should publicize the correct fertility culture, advocate the concept of gender equality, and improve the effect of fertility autonomy; On the other hand, we should strengthen the fertility support system at the family level and social level, and use the participation of multiple subjects to guide the influence of gender role concept on fertility willingness.
