On 31 May 2021, the Political Bureau of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China proposed the policy that a couple can have three children, and rolled out more supportive measures to further optimize the fertility policies. However, while the Chinese government is further optimizing its fertility policy, the sudden outbreak of COVID-19 is raging around the world, which threatens the implementation of China’s fertility optimization policy. Based on this, this paper firstly explores the impact of COVID-19 on women’s fertility intentions. Secondly, based on the Theory of Planned Behavior, this paper constructs a structural equation model to quantitatively reveal the specific factors that affect women’s fertility intentions under the epidemic, as well as their impact paths, and then puts forward corresponding suggestions for the government to solve the problem of fertility, aiming at delaying population aging and optimizing population structure. The research results show that: (1) COVID-19 lowers the fertility intentions of women of childbearing age. (2) During the pandemic, economic pressure emerged as the biggest factor affecting women’s fertility intentions. The decline in income caused by the pandemic has become an important factor in preventing women from having children. (3) The conflict between work and childbearing is still an important factor affecting the fertility intentions of women of childbearing age. The government’s provision of perfect childcare services and their strengthening of the protection of women’s employment rights and interests will greatly reduce women’s anxiety about childbearing.

“…This paper uses well-being as an indicator of life evaluation, confirms the previous literature on the influence of occupation satisfaction, social interaction, and social security on well-being, and explores the relationship between these factors, enriching the research on factors affecting well-being. From the practical point of view, suggestions from the perspective of optimizing the mechanism, pilot construction, and platform provision [ 49 ] can further promote the healthy development of the gig economy, narrow the gap between the rich and the poor, and promote social equity.…”

Measuring Well-Being of Migrant Gig Workers: Exampled as Hangzhou City in China

Song

et al. 2022

Behavioral Sciences

The consistent innovations and applications of information technology drive the vigorous development of the gig economy, and generate gig workers such as food delivery workers and couriers, and make a great contribution to stabilizing employment and increasing income. Gig workers, mostly made up of migrants, and suffer from job and status difficulties. Research on the well-being of migrant gig workers can reveal the practical problems and provide suggestions for narrowing the wealth gap to promote social fairness and justice. Taking Hangzhou city in China as an example, this paper explores the well-being of food delivery workers, couriers, and online car-hailing drivers as representatives of migrant gig workers. Firstly, the relevant data are acquired through the questionnaire. Secondly, the characteristics of this group are analyzed through descriptive analysis, namely: most of them are migrant workers aged between 20 and 39with low occupation satisfaction due to insufficient social security coverage and limited well-being, despite relatively high income. Based on the analysis of differences in demographic variables and structural equation modeling, the factors affecting the well-being of migrant gig workers are studied, which mainly are occupation satisfaction, social interaction, and social security. The results show that occupation satisfaction is positively affected by family characteristics, social interaction, and social security. In addition, family characteristics and social security positively impact social interaction, but the former has no significant effect on well-being. Finally, this paper enriches the research on the well-being of specific migrant gig workers and gives policy suggestions for enhancing the well-being of migrant gig workers in Hangzhou city from the perspective of optimizing the mechanism, pilot construction, and platform provision.

“… For the PMC model, the indicator setting still has certain room for improvement. To make the model more universal, nonstandard variables can be added, and quantitative analysis can be carried out according to the specific conditions of different policies; then the application scope of the PMC index model can be expanded [ 24 ]. The calculation method of the PMC index only calculates a simple summation and average without integrating the information between the policy evaluation indicators, so it cannot measure the relationships between different evaluation indicators [ 25 ].…”

A Document Analysis of Peak Carbon Emissions and Carbon Neutrality Policies Based on a PMC Index Model in China

With the commitment to peaking carbon emissions by 2030 and achieving carbon neutrality by 2060, the text analysis of policies related to peak carbon emissions and carbon neutrality has become a hot research topic in China. However, current domestic and foreign research mainly focuses on the impact and enlightenment of carbon emission measurement and other aspects and rarely optimizes the road to carbon neutrality through the analysis of policy texts. Based on both domestic and international research results, this paper takes 11 central government, ministry, province, and city policies as the research object, uses the PMC index model to calculate the PMC indices of the 11 representative documents, and draws surfaces. The results indicate that nearly half of the policies have excellent scores, but some policies still have deficiencies in terms of guarantee incentives and policy coverage. Given these shortcomings, this paper proposes that the government should provide technical assistance to industrial enterprises in addition to certain subsidies to reduce the energy consumption of enterprises in production and achieve sustainable development. While popularizing and developing low-carbon technology, enterprises should pay attention to personnel training and management, and use the digital economy to empower the transition to eco-friendly production. Based on the above research, the main contributions of this paper are as follows: to make theoretical and practical preparations for carbon neutralization and to provide suggestions for optimizing policies.
