Abstract: This paper examines the impact of house prices on floating populations’ fertility intentions in China. Specifically, this is among the first studies to distinguish between urban-to-urban and rural-to-urban migrants. Using data from the Chinese General Social Survey (CGSS), the results indicate that higher house prices discourage urban-to-urban migrants’ fertility intentions but do not significantly affect rural-to-urban migrants’ fertility intentions. Moreover, among urban-to-urban migrants, homeowners and those with higher levels of education are more adversely affected by higher house prices. Potential mechanisms are discussed.
