传统上，生育相关现象的城乡差异可以用避孕方法的差异和生殖目标的空间差异来解释。作为必然结果，现有供给侧和需求侧不平等的变化将使农村妇女能够与城市妇女一样实现生育目标。然而，我们发现，农村地区的生育决策反映了根深蒂固的男性主导地位，因此，如果农村妇女要像城市妇女一样充分实现生育目标，就必须纠正决策中的性别不平等。
Rural-urban variances in fertility-related phenomena traditionally are explained by differences in access to contraception and by spatial variations in reproductive goals. As a corollary, changes in existing supply- and demand-side inequities should enable rural women to attain their reproductive goals to the same extent as their urban counterparts. We find, however, that reproductive decisions in rural areas reflect entrenched male dominance, such that the gender inequality in decision making must be redressed if rural women are to realize their fertility goals as fully as urban women.
