Research on the Macroeconomic Impact of Fertility Policies and Population Mobility

Abstract

: Fertility policy and population mobility have been important factors affecting demographics and macroeconomics. Using an empirical approach, this paper investigates the effects of fertility policy and population mobility on macroeconomics. It is found that fertility policy has significant effects on population growth, age structure and economic development, while population mobility significantly affects employment, industrial structure, urban development and economic growth. Moreover, the effects of policy effects are mainly manifested in the short term. Therefore, in order to achieve rationalization of the population structure and promote economic development, reasonable fertility and population mobility policies are needed to promote a benign population structure and sustainable economic development.
