Abstract
Modern women pursue independence and self-development, while women take care of their children in the family to assume heavier responsibilities, which makes women conflict between occupation and birth. Based on the female birth cost, this paper uses the linear probability and logit model of the 2014 national floating population dynamic monitoring survey data. It is found that the higher the female education level, the lower the childbearing willingness of the second child; the more stable the female occupation or the more Good development prospects, the lower the willingness of the two children to have a child. Modern women are paying more and more attention to the development of their own professions, and they are more focused on the former between work and childbearing.
