摘要:

生育行为由夫妻共同决定。由于婚姻双方在生育行为中承担不同角色,面临不同的成本和效用,夫妻之间的生育意愿及影响因素可能存在系统差异。不同于女性个体视角的研究,使用2018年中国家庭追踪调查(CFPS)数据,采用似不相关(SUR)回归分析方法,同时考察妻子和丈夫的生育意愿,并比较夫妻生育意愿是否以及为何存在差异。结果发现:丈夫相比妻子具有更高的生育意愿,而影响夫妻生育意愿的因素既有相似性又存在一定的差异。其中,家庭收入、现有子女数和传宗接代观念同时影响夫妻双方的生育意愿,而一些因素(如年龄、个人收入)仅对夫妻一方的生育意愿有显著影响,另外一些因素则对夫妻生育意愿的影响程度不同。同时,夫妻之间的生育意愿存在相互影响。这揭示了从个体视角拓展到夫妻视角研究生育意愿的必要性,由此期望推动夫妻层面的生育研究。

Abstract:

Reproductive behavior is a joint decision of a married couple, and the two parties assume different roles and face different costs and utility in the process of reproduction. Therefore, there may be systematic differences in fertility willingness of couples as well as their influential factors. By a SUR regression analysis based on the data of 2018 China Family Panel Studies (CFPS), this paper compares and examines whether and how couples differ in their willingness to have children. The results show that husbands have higher fertility preference than wives, and there are differences and similarities among factors respectively influencing them. While family income, number of children, and the concept of family reproduction will influence the couple in the same way, some factors including age and individual income only have significant impact on the husband or the wife, and other factors influence the couple with different degrees. In addition, there is a mutual influence between the fertility willingness of the couple. The above results show the necessity of studying fertility willingness from the perspective of a couple rather than a husband or a wife.

Key words: fertility willingness, couple, gender difference
