password:String,

gender:{ type:String, default:'none' },

birthdate:Date.

lists:[listschema]

})

You can set defaults in your subdocument schema (or any schema for that matter) like i did here in your listschema:

var listschema = new Schema({
    name: {
        type: String,
        default: 'value'
    }
});


var user = new Schema({

    name: String,
    email: String,
    password: String,
    gender:{
        type:String,
        default:'none'
    },
    birthdate:Date.
    lists:[listschema]

});
