Abstract: The research uses CGSS, a family survey data, to study the impact of the second phase of the selective two-child policy (STCP II) on residents’ fertility intentions in China. It finds that the policy does improve residents’ two-child fertility intentions, which is more significant in the younger groups. The research results suggest that relaxing the family planning policies does increase the residents’ willingness to have more children in the short term.
