The Impact of Housing Price on Fertility in the Context of China's Three-child Policy - Taking Shanghai as an Example

Abstract

In light of China's Three-child Policy, this paper gives a thorough investigation of the complex relationship between housing costs and reproductive choices using Shanghai as a case study. This study provides light on how housing costs affect family planning choices by taking into account a number of variables, including economic development, demographic trends, and housing market dynamics. The paper reveals the complex effects of high housing expenses on important elements of family life, such as family formation, marriage postponement, and parenting decisions. It does this through in-depth data analysis and instructive chart representations. These results highlight the pressing need for comprehensive policy changes targeted at reducing the financial stress placed on families. The research also advances the understanding of the complex effects that such measures might have on broader demographic issues. In essence, this study clarifies the link between housing costs and fertility rates while also highlighting the significance of evidence-based policymaking in creating a more sustainable and nurturing environment for families in light of shifting socio-economic dynamics.
