Abstract

In recent years, China’s aging problem has become increasingly serious, and the birth rate has continued to decline. Under the combing factors such as the prevalent family core structure, the weakening inter-generational mutual assistance, and the strong willingness of women to develop their careers, the demand for family childcare services has been on the prominent rise. According to the data of the seventh census, 1/3 of infants aged 0-3 in China have a strong demand for childcare, but the actual nursery rate is only 5.5%. Therefore, the gap between the supply and demand of childcare services is huge.
