【 摘 要 】

PurposeHealth education services in urban public health represent a significant guarantee to improve health status, reduce fertility pressure, and uplift the living standard of the rural migrant population.MethodsBased on the data from the 2018 China Mobility Monitoring Survey, this research paper analyzes the association between urban public health education services and the fertility intentions of the rural migrant populations.ResultsThe study findings indicate that (i) the education services in urban public health demonstrate a significant positive effect on the increase in fertility intentions of the rural migrant population; (ii) further, improvement in the health status represents a crucial mechanism by which urban public health’s education services influence the fertility intentions; (iii) in addition, the education services of urban public health exert a significant impact on improvement in the fertility intentions through public health consultation, promotional materials, SMS services, and face-to-face consultation; (iv) finally, urban public health’s education services exhibit a significant influence on improvement in the fertility intentions of the rural migrant population with firm residence intention and low work intensity.ConclusionsThis study extends empirical evidence for the government authorities to formulate policies to consummate the urban public health service system, strengthen the efficiency of urban public health education services, and improve the fertility intentions and the living standards of the rural migrant populations.
