Through elucidating the effect of four social interaction mechanisms on fertility, this research is expected to provide a new dimension to understanding fertility dynamics. Both theoretical and practical investigations are involved. From a theoretical perspective, this research will provide a systematic review of how individual fertility behaviour changes due to social interaction mechanisms. From a practical perspective, a new mathematical method is expected to be proposed, which will be used to construct full and more realistic kinship structures than the stable-population-based approach. The effects of fertility and mortality on the kin structure will be formulated and quantified. Finally, the simulation models will provide a bottom-up way to understand fertility decline based on social interaction. The effectiveness of family policies will be examined, providing a point of reference for policymakers.

通过阐明四种社会互动机制对生育的影响，这项研究有望为理解生育动态提供一个新的维度。涉及理论和实践研究。从理论角度来看，本研究将对个体生育行为如何因社会互动机制而发生变化进行系统回顾。从实践的角度来看，预计将提出一种新的数学方法，该方法将用于构建比基于稳定种群的方法更完整、更现实的亲属关系结构。生育率和死亡率对亲属结构的影响将被表述和量化。最后，模拟模型将提供一种自下而上的方法来理解基于社会互动的生育率下降。将审查家庭政策的有效性，为政策制定者提供参考。
