“…The difference between the two were significant (P value = 0.000). Under the "Three-child" policy, the ideal number of children in participants was less than two, and the situation of number of ideal and planned children was decreasing successively (Saikia et al, 2019). In the 1960s, the fertility rate of some European countries were as low as 1.75, but the ideal number of children has never dropped below 1.9 (Zeman et al, 2018).…”

“…The fertility number is divided into ideal fertility number and planned fertility number (Hou et al, 2020). The ideal fertility number is the number of child they should have without considering their conditions and the planner fertility number is the actual demand of child with considering their conditions (Saikia et al, 2019). The age of birth is divided into marriage age and the time of birth first child.…”

The objective of this study was to describe the fertility intentions and the possibility of having a third child of participants in Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region since the "three-child" policy was adopted in China and to explore factors associated with intentions to have a third child. This study was conducted among 1525 participants from five universities using a questionnaire from September to November 2021 in Guangxi, China. Data were collected on the student's sociodemographic characteristics and fertility intentions. A descriptive analysis, chi-square test, difference test and ordered logistic regression model were used for data analysis. The ideal number of children among the participants in Guangxi was 1.89 ± 0.52, and the average number of planned children was 1.49 ± 0.88. Although the policy encouraged having a third child, fewer than a tenth (5.5%) of participants clearly intended to. More than 15% (17.6%) of participants clearly intended not to have child. Compared with female participants, male participants had more planning number of child (P value = 0.003) and were more likely to have a third child (P value = 0.000). The earlier participants get married the more likely to have a third child (P value = 0.000). Compared with urban participants, rural participants were more likely to have first and second children (P value = 0.003), but there was no significant difference in the possibility of having three children. Participants show lower fertility intentions and less likely to have third child under the "Three-child" policy. More fertility intentions' researches and supplementary measures are urgently needed to improve fertility rates in China.

“…Or do they adapt to the fertility behavior of their destinations? Evidence suggests that at international level, both positions hold true among immigrants (Kulu, 2005;Milewski, 2010;Eryurt and Koc, 2012;Liang et al, 2014;Krapf and Wolf, 2015;Rojas et al, 2018;Kulu et al, 2019;Saikia et al, 2019). In certain instances, even the fertility rates among migrants were found to be lower than what obtained in both their places of origin and destinations (Hervitz, 1985;González-Ferrer et al, 2017).…”

Fertility patterns in Nigeria are high and widely skewed away from the targets of the country's population policy. As population growth is fueled by natural increase and migration, and with spatial disparities in fertility preferences among the different ethnic groups in Nigeria, this study investigates the fertility behavior of ethnic migrants in their destinations, the place-effects on such behavior, and the convergence or otherwise of the behavior with fertility behaviors in the migrants' places of origin and destination. Explanations for the behavioral pattern are provided in the hypotheses of migrant fertility and in the sociodemographic confounders of the behavior. Study data was extracted for the three major ethnic groups in Nigeria from the Nigerian Demographic and Health Survey. Median numbers of children ever born (CEB) were 7, 6, and 4 for the Hausa-Fulani, Igbo, and Yoruba ethnic groups respectively. Relative to the destination fertility patterns, Hausa-Fulani and Yoruba migrants had lower CEB in Igboland while Igbo and Yoruba migrants recorded lower CEB in the North-West home of the Hausa-Fulani ethnic group. Whereas the Igbo migrants maintained an equal CEB with their Yoruba hosts, the Hausa-Fulani group replicated their home fertility behavior in Yorubaland. Overall, the adaptation, socialization, and selectivity hypotheses were found valid for some of the disparities in migrant fertility behavior and the influence of the sociodemographic predictors of fertility behavior varied among the different ethnic groups.
