Educational level, job satisfaction, fertility and subjective well-being of Chinese women: An empirical analysis based on Probit and AISM models

Abstract

With the progress of society and the improvement of women 's status, the education level, career development and family role of Chinese women have undergone significant changes, and the status and role of women are becoming more and more important. Based on the data of China general social survey in 2021, this study uses Probit model and adversarial interpretive structural model to study the relationship between women 's education level, job satisfaction, fertility and subjective well-being. The results show that women 's education level, job satisfaction and fertility have a positive impact on women 's subjective well-being. Through further research, we found that women 's education level has a mediating effect between job satisfaction and fertility and subjective well-being. Through the improvement of education level, women have a positive impact on job satisfaction and fertility, and ultimately affect the subjective well-being of women. Therefore, in order to optimize the environment for women 's development, government departments should accurately adjust women 's education, employment and fertility policies, so as to improve women 's job satisfaction, enhance women 's fertility willingness, reduce the burden of work and life, especially psychological gender inequality, and ultimately achieve subjective well-being, feel satisfied with high-quality life, and promote women 's all-round development.
