The contents of fertility desire include ideal number of children and sex preference. The influence of individual characteristics and migration experience to fertility desire are also analyzed. Results of this study show that the desired number of children of ever migrated women is significantly less than that of never migrated women. The influence is less significant if the women have returned home for a longer period. There is no significant difference among ever migrated women, regardless of the difference in migration experience.展开更多
