The Influence of Early Rural Left-behind Experience on the Young People's Reproductive Motivation
Based on the data of China Family Panel Studies(CFPS)from 2010 to 2020,this paper uses counterfactual analysis method to divide fertility motivation into the individual-oriented and family-oriented,and studies the influence of early rural left-behind experience on the fertility motivations of the young people.The research results show that:firstly,the early left-behind experience will weaken the family-oriented fertility motivation of the adults and aggravate their individual-oriented fertility motivation;secondly,the heterogeneity analysis shows that the left-behind experience mainly weakens the family-oriented fertility motivation of men,the post-90s,the only-child and highly educated groups.The mechanism analysis shows that the rural left-be-hind experience will affect their family-oriented reproductive motivation in adulthood through mental health and social status.Further analysis finds that left-behind experience has a deeper negative impact on family-oriented reproductive motivation in the group that only fathers went out and experienced left-behind at 0～3 years of age,and ultimately reduced their reproductive intention.Therefore,attention should be paid to the mental health of left-behind children,and efforts should be made to make up for the lack of family education and emotion,so as to help them form a positive reproductive motivation.
