Abstract:Since the expansion of college admissions in 1999, the number of university students has continued to rise. They have become the main force of future fertility and the focus of fertility intention research. Currently, there are relatively few studies on the fertility intentions of university students, with similar themes, a broad range of research subjects, and a single research method. These studies mainly cover the number of children, gender preferences, timing, purposes, quality, and influencing factors of fertility. Existing research has shortcomings such as the "meta-hypothesis" issue, lack of retrospective analysis, and an overemphasis on currentstatusstudies. Future research should avoid these problems, introduce multidisciplinary approaches, enrich the content, and strengthen international comparative studies.
