The level of young people’s fertility desire is related to the development trend of our country’s future population. Using the questionnaire survey method, this paper explores the intergenerational influence of parents’ education level on the fertility i desire of contemporary college students. It is found that the fertility desire of contemporary college students is low, which is lower than the generation replacement level. The higher the education level of the father and the mother, the lower the fertility desire and fertility behavior, that is, the education level inhibited the fertility desire and fertility behavior. There is a significant positive correlation between the father’s fertility desire and fertility behavior. The higher the education level of the mother, the lower the fertility desire of the children of the students, but the education level of the father did not affect the fertility desire of the children of college students. This study can provide a basis for exploring the relationship between education level and fertility desire.
