摘要:

本研究对兄弟姐妹数量与青少年成长之间的关系进行了全面的理论探讨,并利用2010—2018年中国家庭追踪调查数据,为识别兄弟姐妹对青少年认知能力和主观幸福感的影响提供了微观证据。实证研究结果表明:拥有1个兄弟姐妹对青少年的主观幸福感有积极影响,这种影响效应随年龄增长而加强,并且在成年后依旧保持稳定;拥有兄弟姐妹可能对青少年的数学类认知能力产生负向影响,这种影响主要体现在较低学段样本中,并随年龄增长逐渐消失。本研究为父母制定生育决策时更有效地开展成本收益分析提供了支持,也为缓解养育焦虑、完善生育政策以及促进人口可持续发展提供了政策启示。

Abstract:

This paper presents a comprehensive theoretical exploration of the relationship between sibling number and adolescent development, and utilizes data from the 2010—2018 Chinese Family Panel Survey (CFPS) to provide micro-level evidence for identifying the impact of siblings on adolescents’ cognitive ability and subjective well-being. The results indicate that having a sibling has a positive effect on adolescents’ subjective well-being, which increases with age and remains stable in adulthood. Having siblings may have a negative effect on adolescents’ cognitive ability in mathematics, but this effect is mainly seen in the young age sample and gradually disappears with the increase of grades and age. This paper provides information to support more effective cost-benefit analyses when parents make fertility decisions, as well as policy implications for alleviating parenting anxiety, improving fertility policies, and promoting sustainable population development.
