An Empirical Study on the Fertility and the Supply of Maternal and Child Health Care Service in China

With the implementation of the "The universal two-child policy"in China, the fertility desire of the people of childbearing age has gradually become a hot spot in the research of relevant scholars. To understand the current fertility desire in China is conducive to improve the fertility rate and change the current unbalanced population structure in China. However, the factors affecting the desire to give birth to a second child are diverse. In this paper, in addition to measuring the fertility desire of the people of childbearing age, we also focused on measuring and analyzing the impact degree of the current business services supply, social services supply and government service supply of maternal health care and child health care on the fertility desire. Meanwhile, we investigated the policy needs of the childbearing age people for the relevant public service of the maternal and child health care. And combined with the empirical analysis, we put forward some suggestions to better the current situation of maternal and child health service supply in China, thus improving the fertility desire of the childbearing age people, reducing the social risks brought by their two children, optimizing the population structure and improving the population quality of China.
