Abstract

At present, the problems of population aging and low fertility of young people in China have become more and more serious, which has become an important factor restricting economic and social development. Although the “comprehensive” policy has been implemented and has achieved certain effects, the willingness of young people to give birth is still low. At the same time, the rise of housing prices has become one of the major social and livelihood issues, and the impact of housing prices on people’s fertility intentions has also received widespread attention from scholars at home and abroad. Based on this, this study takes young people of childbearing age in China as the research object, adopts the research method to study the impact of rising housing prices on the fertility behaviour of young people in the city, and based on the conclusions drawn, puts forward targeted suggestions for the benign development of the real estate market and the effective implementation of the population policy.
