Abstract

In the context of low fertility rate, young people's views on marriage and childbearing are one of the key topics of research in China, however, there is still a research gap between child-friendly policies and views on marriage and childbearing among many influencing factors. Therefore, the research theme is the influence of child-friendly policies on the marriage and childbearing views of the young people aged 18 to 35. Through unstructured interviews with 32 respondents aged 18 to 35, this paper analyzes the reasons for the aversion to children among the young people and its impact on their views on marriage and childbearing based on the theory of Networked Agenda Setting, and proposes the shortcomings and improvement measures of child-friendly policies. The article concludes that child-friendly policies should be improved to create a "child-friendly" social atmosphere, which is conducive to the formation of correct views on marriage and childbearing among the young people.
