居民环境治理满意度、主观幸福感对理想子女数的影响研究
Residents'Environmental Governance Satisfaction and Subjective Well-being on Ideal Number of Children
摘要
Abstract
In recent years,China's fertility rate has stayed persistently low,which has become a key research issue in the field of population development.Most existing studies focus on the impact of factors such as childbearing costs and traditional norms on fertility decisions,while the potential role of ecological governance cognition has been largely overlooked.Using data from the 2021 Chinese General Social Survey(CGSS 2021),this paper examines the influence of residents'satisfaction with the central and local governments'environmental governance on their ideal number of children and the underlying mechanisms.The results show that:First,residents'satisfaction with the central and local governments'environmental governance exerts a significant positive impact on their ideal number of children,and subjective well-being plays a prominent mediating role between them.Second,such impact of residents'environmental governance satisfaction exhibits population heterogeneity.Specifically,compared with groups with lower education levels,lower income,and rural household registration,the effect is stronger among those with higher education levels,higher income,and urban household registration.Furthermore,the conclusions above remain robust after this study employs two instrumental variables—"understanding of national environmental policies"and"trust in the National People's Congress"—to address potential endogeneity concerns.Finally,Poisson regression models are used for robustness checks,and the results are highly consistent with those from ordinary least squares(OLS)regression models.In conclusion,enhancing residents'environmental governance satisfaction can effectively supplement birth support policies and provide new policy perspectives for China's long-term balanced population development.关键词
