This study explores the relationship between China's reproductive health policy and the rate of return on urban education by using fixed-effect, mediating-effect, and breakpoint regression models. The authors study the impact of China's reproductive health policy on individual years of education, income, return on education, the impact of reproductive health policy on population health, and overall human development. The empirical results show that the implementation of China's reproductive health policy can improve the rate of return on urban education and increase the average length of education of urban residents by 0.29 years. Under the breakpoint regression model, the educational return rate of urban residents is approximately 12.2% higher than the ordinary least squares (OLS) estimate. China's reproductive health policy has significantly promoted the return rate of residents' education and simultaneously effectively promoted the income of urban residents. With the development of the economy, the government should properly adjust reproductive health policies and improve the population health rate so that the adjustment of reproductive health policies can comprehensively promote the health of residents of all ages. The overall relaxation of family restrictions on children's human capital investment will likely reduce the negative impact of the overall relaxation of family planning, not only improving the health of the population but also contributing to sustainable economic development.
本研究运用固定效应、中介效应和断点回归模型，探讨了中国生殖健康政策与城市教育回报率之间的关系。作者研究了中国生殖健康政策对个人受教育年限、收入、教育回报率、生殖健康政策对人口健康的影响以及整体人类发展的影响。实证结果表明，中国生殖健康政策的实施可以提高城市教育的回报率，使城市居民的平均受教育年限增加 0.29 年。在断点回归模型下，城市居民的教育回报率比普通最小二乘法（OLS）估计值高出约 12.2%。中国的生殖健康政策显著促进了居民教育回报率的提高，同时有效提高了城市居民的收入。随着经济的发展，政府应适当调整生殖健康政策，提高人口健康率，使生殖健康政策的调整能够全面促进各年龄段居民的健康。家庭对子女人力资本投资的全面放松，可能会减轻全面放宽计划生育政策的负面影响，不仅改善人口健康状况，还有助于可持续经济发展。
