Abstract

The aim of this study was to demonstrate the relationship between the numbers of children in family and family benefits; and determine whether there was a positive correlation. This paper used historical analysis method, to compare fertility rate and family welfare policy in different historical periods. The experience showed that China has had a high fertility period in history, when the public resources divided equally by country. Developed countries' experience also showed that the concern for family including offering subsidy or service was helpful to improve fertility. These examples illustrated that when the state undertook supporting functions on family, with the non-exclusive and equal distribute in public resources, people tend to bearing more babies. It is necessary to establish a family-based social policy to help families raising babies, thus people may love to bear more babies.
