In recent years, our country is facing the increasingly serious problem of low fertility, our country has been in the trap of low fertility, and the problem of population development is imminent. How to effectively improve the current situation of low fertility rate and alleviate the impact of low fertility rate is an important topic that we need to study urgently. As the central city of China, Shanghai's fast-paced living environment and the rapidly developing social status of high prices and high consumption have indirectly or directly led to the extremely obvious population aging trend and the social status of low fertility rate in Shanghai, which is a typical representative of the current situation of low fertility rate in China. Based on the above conclusions, this paper analyzes the reasons that may lead to the current low fertility rate from three perspectives: social environment, workplace environment and economic pressure. The paper also puts forward specific suggestions on the above problems which may lead to the decrease of fertility rate.
