Abstract

This paper investigates the marriage and childbearing views of female college students in Wenzhou, analyzing their current situation and existing problems in terms of love, sexual attitudes, mate selection, marriage, and childbearing. The survey results reveal that female college students exhibit diversified and personalized characteristics in their views on marriage and childbearing, with late marriage, non-marriage, and low fertility intentions being prominent. These issues not only reflect the influence of personal economic independence and career planning but also reveal insufficient support from family, school, and society. This paper proposes targeted solutions from the individual, family, school, and societal levels, aiming to help female college students better balance personal development with marriage and childbearing needs, thereby promoting sustainable social development.
