Based on China Health and Nutrition Survey (CHNS) data,this paper uses Logit series and Probit discrete choice models to examine the factors affecting the desired birth of Chinese women being married,divorced and lost their spouses,aged 52 and lower.The results show that the number of siblings positively affects the numbers of desired birth,while age and education have negative affect.Under the influences of Chinese One Child Policy,jobs with government background negatively affect the numbers of desired birth and rural residents desire more births than their urban counterparts do.
