Background China has been characterized by persistently low fertility rates since the 1990s. Existing literature has examined the relationships of fertility levels with social, economic, and policy-related determinants. However, the possible spatial variations in these relationships have not been investigated. Objective The purpose of this study is to examine the potential spatially varying relationships between county-level fertility rates and policy and socioeconomic factors in China. Methods Using geocoded 2010 county-level census data, this study adopts the geographically weighted regression (GWR) method to identify place-specific relationships between county-level total fertility rate (TFR) and socioeconomics and policy-related factors. Conclusions We find relationships between TFR and widely used social, economic, and policy-related factors (rural Hukou, ethnic minority, female education, net migration rate, poor living standard, sex ratio at birth, and fertility policy compliance ratio) vary spatially in terms of the direction, strength, and magnitude. The spatial variation is largely due to the difference in local characteristics. The differences and the complexities of localities cannot be told by a single story of either government intervention or socioeconomic development. Contribution This study extends the existing fertility research in China by explicitly recognizing the spatial heterogeneity in the impacts of policy and socioeconomic factors on the local fertility rate. This study sets the stage for future research that will contextually analyze varying fertility rates at the sub-national level in China and other countries.

“…(Xie Mingliang, middle-class male student, at a NKS school) Xie Mingliang's father had a gender-stereotypical educational expectation regarding Xie Mingliang's higher education, which strongly influenced his subject choice. It is clear that the conventional view of Chinese masculinity, which advocates that a boy should be independent, possess a higher-level academic degree and pursue a successful career (Li 1995), played a vital role in the decision-making process. From this perspective, Xie Mingliang's father set up a distinction between boys and girls in terms of undergraduate subject choice.…”

This article employs the concepts of habitus to provide an in-depth analysis of the ways in which gender differences are played out in parents' and students' choices of undergraduate subjects. Studies focusing on how gender and social class reinforce each other in terms of students' undergraduate subject choices have not been conducted in China. This article reports a mixed method study, comprising a large-scale questionnaire and semi-structured interviews. Drawing on both the quantitative and qualitative data, this study reveals that undergraduate subject choices remain strongly gender-differentiated. The qualitative data show the impact of family habitus, in particular the social-classed views of parents, on the decision-making process. It is noted that social class leads working-class students to make less gender-stereotypical choices than students of the middle-class origin.

“…One of the main things that came out of the 1979 one-child policy was that the Generation Y child became the center of his or her parents' and grandparents' universe and were instilled with a strong dose of Confucian ideas. Therefore, this generation still holds on to their Confucian ideas of generations past, such as Confucian hierarchy, importance of personal relationships, and use of indirect communication (Li, 1995).…”

The purpose of this study was to assess how well a popular U.S. developed behavioral model, the theory of planned behavior, was able to explain Generation Y Chinese consumers' purchase behavior regarding a fast food restaurant meal. Results provided considerable support in terms of robustness of the theory of planned behavior to predict and explain intentions to buy a fast food meal. The model also provided reasonable measures of fit for the Chinese sample. The findings can enhance the extant literature on the universal applicability of the model and can serve as useful references for further investigations of the validity of the model under other cultural settings and for other behavioral categories.
