, , , , &
 

ABSTRACT

The COVID−19 pandemic and its social, economic, and health implications have generally reduced women’s fertility intentions in different countries. In this article, we aimed to review studies of the impact of COVID−19 infection on women’s fertility intentions and interventions to provide a theoretical basis and practical benchmark for the development of effective intervention strategies in China, which lifted its zero COVID system in early December 2022.
