摘要
本文在前人研究的基础上,从经济学角度分析了家庭收入对生育决策的影响,并尝试进一步推导出“收入-生育率”曲线。与以往研究不同的是,本文认为生育率与家庭收入并不总是呈反向关系,而是收入到了一定水平以后,生育率水平又会随之上升,即“收入-生育率”曲线基本呈扁平“U”形曲线形态。
Based on the previous study, this paper analyses how the family income affects fertility rate from the view point of economics. As a result, this paper draws a whole "Income- Fertility" Curve. Different from other studies, this paper holds that the relationship between income and fertility rate is not always reversed. When family is rich enough, fertility rate tends to rise.
