Welfare Support from Labor Union and the Desire of Procreate Children of Employees——Evidence from Employer-employee Matching Survey
Exploring the incentive mechanism of fertility intention is the key to reversing the declining trend of the fertility rate,but there is a lack of research on the fertility intention of enterprise employees in China.This paper uses the data of the"Employer-employee Matching Survey"to investigate the impact of trade unions on employees'reproductive intention and its mechanism.(1)the study found that employees'willingness to have children continued to decline after the implementation of the"overall child-bearing policy";(2)Trade unions can promote employees'willingness to have two children;(3)Increasing monetary welfare and non-monetary welfare is the mechanism of enterprise trade unions to encourage employees to have two children;(4)Trade unions have a stronger incentive effect on the willingness of employees working in public enterprises and taking more reproductive risks(women,having one child and facing work-family conflict)to have two children.The rights and interests protection mech-anism can enhance the employees'reproductive intention,which provides an empirical reference for decision-making departments to solve the problem of low reproductive meaning.
