China Provincial Fertility Fear Index and Birth Rates (2010–2022): Weibo Lexicon-Based Measures and Panel Data
Listed in ScienceDB
This dataset provides an annual province-level panel (31 provincial units × 2010–2022) for analyzing the relationship between fertility fear expressed on social media and subsequent birth outcomes in China.
Description
It includes (1) a Weibo lexicon-based Fertility Fear Index aggregated by province and year, (2) provincial birth rate statistics, and (3) province-year covariates such as per capita disposable income and cultural orientation indicators (individualism and collectivism) derived from Weibo text.
The dataset supports reproducible panel regression analyses (e.g., two-way fixed effects) to examine temporal and regional variation in fertility-related sentiments and demographic outcomes. Individual-level Weibo content is not included; all measures are aggregated at the province-year level.
