Abstract

In contrast to prior studies that primarily rely on logistic regression to independently examine factors influencing fertility intentions, this study introduces a novel Bayesian network analysis approach to explore the complex interplay among multiple factors affecting subsequent fertility decisions. Using data from the 2019 China Social Survey (CSS), we identify distinct patterns of fertility intentions among groups who have already given birth to one child. Our findings reveal that individuals born in the 1980s with higher education and stable em-ployment exhibit the strongest likelihood of having a second child. Notably, for this subgroup, the cost of education exerts minimal influence on fertility inten-tions, while family relationships emerge as a key priority. These insights contrib-ute to a deeper understanding of fertility dynamics in China’s evolving policy landscape and provide actionable recommendations for policymakers.
