Abstract

In the background of population aging and the gradual release of fertility policy and based on the survey data of 237 rural households in Jiangsu province in 2016, this paper analyzes the impacts of child and elderly dependency ratio on rural households' financial constraint and entrepreneurship choice by logistic regression model. The empirical result shows that the child dependency ratio is positive for the entrepreneurial probability and when the financial constraint is low this effect may be enhanced. On the contrary, the elderly dependency ratio has negative impact on the entrepreneurial probability. However, when we put financing amount into the model, this effect may be relieved. This research has certain enlightening significance for current fertility policy and entrepreneurship policy.
