Most women in Shaanxi marry and have their first child quickly, influenced by age at marriage. Subsequent birth intervals and likelihood depend on child gender, survival, breastfeeding, and occupation, showing varied fertility patterns despite policies.

Area of Science:

  • Sociology
  • Demography
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Fertility patterns are influenced by socioeconomic and cultural factors.
  • China's one-child policy aimed to control population growth.
  • Understanding regional variations in fertility is crucial for policy evaluation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze birth intervals and fertility trends in Shaanxi Province, China.
  • To identify factors influencing first, second, and third birth intervals.
  • To assess the impact of social and policy factors on fertility behavior.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of birth interval lengths and determinants.
  • Examination of factors influencing subsequent births.
  • Assessment of regional variations in fertility.

Main Results:

  • First birth interval strongly correlates with age at first marriage.
  • Second/third birth intervals and likelihood are influenced by child sex composition, child survival, breastfeeding duration, and maternal occupation.
  • Significant regional differences in birth intervals and prevalence of multiple births exist in Shaanxi.
  • The one-child policy is not universally followed in Shaanxi.

Conclusions:

  • Social, economic, institutional, and cultural factors promote high fertility, hindering further decline in Shaanxi.
  • Policy effectiveness is moderated by deeply rooted pro-fertility norms and conditions.
  • Targeted interventions may be needed to address persistent fertility trends.
