摘要
应用在招赘婚姻高度流行区、中度流行区和低度流行区的调查数据 ,本文研究了严格生育控制下婚姻形式以及个人、家庭和社会因素对男孩偏好的影响及其区域差异。研究发现 ,嫁娶婚姻的生育行为有明显的男孩偏好倾向 ,而招赘婚姻的生育行为则不存在性别偏好 ;男孩偏好存在显著的区域差异 ,招赘婚姻的流行显著降低了当地的男孩偏好水平。研究结果为政府在农村降低男孩偏好水平。
Using data from two surveys in three counties among which the prevalence of uxorilocal marriage varies greatly, this paper analyzes effects of marriage form, as well as individual, family and social factors on son preference and its regional differences in the context of strict birth control in rural China. The results show that, son preference can be inferred from the reproductive behaviors for couples in virilocal marriage but not for those for couples in uxorilocal marriage. It is further found that son preference differs greatly among the three counties and the prevalence of uxorilocal marriage could significantly weaken son preference. These findings suggest new approaches to weakening son preference while maintaining low fertility in rural China.
