农村育龄妇女生育偏好现状考察——以湖北省为例

A Study on Son Preference of Rural Women at Fertility Age——Taking Hubei as an Example

利用对湖北鄂州、黄石、仙桃三市的调查数据,分析了农村育龄妇女生育性别偏好现状及其影响因素。研究表明,农村育龄妇女仍存在一定的男孩偏好;育龄妇女的文化程度和"传统文化"为性别偏好两大主要影响因素;育龄妇女文化程度越高越不会具有男孩偏好;受"传统文化"影响越深的育龄妇女越具有强烈的男孩偏好。据此,从弱化生育性别偏好角度探讨了治理出生性别比偏高的对策。

Survey data from 3 cities in Hubei （ Ezhou, Huangshi, Xiantao） are used to analyse the rural women＇s childbearing preference and the affecting factors. The research shows that the women have comparative preference for sons; the level of education and traditional concept are the two main factors affecting the gender preference of women at childbearing age; the higher the women＇s education level is, the less son preference they have, and the deeper the root of ＂traditional culture＂ is, the stronger son preference there is. Accordingly, strategies are proposed here to address the issue of imbalanced sex ratio at birth by promoting gender equality.
