Abstract

Since the implementation of the universal two-child” policy, the fertility rate in Heilongjiang Province has increased slightly but has not reached the expected level. This paper conducts a sample survey on fertility intention of the residents in Harbin, Qiqihar, Jiamusi, Jixi and Qitaihe cities in Heilongjiang Province. The results of the study show that Heilongjiang residents have lower second-child fertility intention, and the residents who have the second-child fertility intention are more likely to set their fertility plan after 2022. The cost of fertility is the most important factor affecting the fertility intention. Therefore, how to effectively encourage residents to have the second-child fertility intention and raise the fertility rate is an urgent problem to be solved in the population development of Heilongjiang Province.
