Abstract

The purpose of this study is to explore the post-00s group's attitude towards the concept of "raising children for old age" from the perspective of life history theory, and to study the influence of parental rearing mode on children's fertility intention. Through online questionnaire collection and SPSS analysis, this study will reveal the influence mechanism of different parenting modes (authoritative, permissive, authoritarian and neglectant) on children's reproductive intention. The results of the questionnaire show that different parenting modes have certain effects on children's adult fertility attitudes and behavioral tendencies, which can explain the psychological and social reasons behind the low fertility willingness of some post-00s to some extent.
