我国生育保障水平测度及其区域差异研究——基于31省（市、区）数据的实证分析

Objective: To measure the maternity security level and regional differences of 31 provinces (municipalities and autonomous regions) in China from 2012 to 2018, and put forward policy suggestions for improving the maternity security level in China and promoting the coordinated development of regional maternity security. Methods: Firstly, the text analysis method was used to extract and analyze the contents of the literature and the relevant policy texts of maternity insurance, and to construct the evaluation indexes of maternity insurance level. Secondly, based on the evaluation indexes, multi-indicator panel data factor analysis was used to measure the maternity security level of 31 provinces in China. Finally, Gini coefficient, Theil index and mean logarithmic deviation are introduced to conduct empirical analysis on the regional differences of Chinas maternity security level from the two-dimensional perspective of provincial, eastern, central and western regions. Results: The overall level of maternity security in China is relatively low, and there are obvious inter-provincial differences in fertility security level. The regional differences of maternity security level in the eastern, central and western regions are mainly intra-regional differences, while the internal differences are mainly determined by the internal differences in the western regions. Conclusion: Economic development level, maternity security policy and resource endowment differences are the important factors affecting the level of maternity security in regions. To improve the maternity security system, we should based on the strategy of Healthy China, reshape the social cognition of fertility value, strengthen the policy support of maternity security, and construct the regional governance mechanism of coordinated development of maternity security.
