Abstract:This study utilizes data from the 2021 China General Social Survey (CGSS), conducted by the China Survey and Data Center at Renmin University. The survey used a randomized scenario experiment to capture respondents' attitudes toward having a second or third child under different conditions: annual family income availability of family care, access to childcare services, and the gender of the existing child. Through the application of Multilevel Logit models, this analysis examines the factors influencing public attitudes and provincial differences regarding additional births. The results show that: 1) After the implementation of the three-child policy, the spatial pattern of the public's attitude towards additional births has changed. 2) Attitudes toward additional births have changed significantly, with a positive correlation between support for having a second child and a third child. 3) The combined care model of "one old and one young" needs to be developed.
