中高等教育对高生育率抑制作用的心理学分析

Psychological Analysis of Inhibiting Effects of Secondary and Higher Education on High Fertility Ratio

上世纪70年代以来，我国妇女的生育率呈现出较快的下降趋势。人们大都把这种现象归因于国家实行的计划生育政策和经济发展的强大影响力，而不同水平的教育对生育率下降是否发挥了巨大作用以及教育是怎样作用于生育率等则缺乏系统地、专门的论述。中高等教育使得人口的认知结构趋于理性和成熟，它影响着人口的生育需求、生育动机，使得现代社会对生育的关注重心从“生”转移到“育”上，最终形成为较为理性的生育行为，有效的发挥了对高生育率抑制作用。

The fertility of women in China is declining from 1970 ＇s. It＇s often owed to the strong influence of Family Planning and economics development. There is few special and systemic study on whether the different levels＇ educations can exert a profound effect on fertility declining. Education , especially secondary and higher education, can make the cognitive structure of people more rational and mature, which effects the fertility demand and motivation, and it also help people to change the view of fertility from bearing to upbringing. Thus rational fertility behavior is formed and the inhibiting influence of secondary and higher education can exert effectively.
