The Relationship between Public Service Satisfaction and Fertility Intentions among Youth Groups
This paper uses the data from the Chinese Social Survey(2023)to analyze the impact of public service satisfaction on fertility intentions among youth groups.The results indicate that an increase in overall satisfaction with public services of young people can boost youth fertility intentions,and this positive effect is most pronounced among middle-class youth.There are differences in the effects of public service satisfaction:social security,employment,medical care,and education,with social security service satisfaction having the strongest facilitating effect.Therefore,when it comes to improving youth fertility intentions through improvement of public services,relevant policies should take middle-class youth as the primary target population,while promoting the satisfaction of young people with social security services is the preferred approach.
