The number of marriages in China has hit a new low in 37 years: men and women do not marry, what happened to this generation of young people?

On the hot search again.

"The number of first marriages in China fell below 12 million for the first time."

what is this concept?

The number of first-time marriages fell below 12 million, a 37-year low.

Moreover, this trend is likely to continue to decline.

On the one hand, there are second and third children, and on the other hand, young people are unwilling to get married.

According to the data in the "China Census Yearbook":

The average age of first marriage in China has been pushed back by 4 years from 2010 to 2020.

From an average age of 24.89 for you to an average marriage age of 28.67.

For young people, it seems to be a "new trend" for men not to marry women.

If you carefully analyze the number of first-time marriages in recent years, you will find that the number of marriages has been decreasing year by year since 2013.

In 2013, close to 13.47 million couples got married, and then kept decreasing.

What does it mean for young people not to marry? What are the reasons behind it?

1. House, car, ticket

What are the three mountains pressing on young people?

It's a house, a car, and a ticket.

I saw a set of data on the Internet: Are you willing to rent a house with your partner to get married?

Among the people interviewed, less than one-third of the people said: If it is true love, it is acceptable.

It is really not easy for young people, especially in the economic situation in recent years, it is very lucky to be able to keep their jobs and income.

Getting married means that they have to face houses, cars and tickets.

Just like going to a job interview:

The two parties took out their resumes and introduced their abilities in various aspects. If they are suitable, they will continue to chat, and if they are not suitable, they will leave immediately.

Clean and neat.

Most young people actually lack the courage to run a good family.

"I have no money, I can't afford a house, my income is just enough to live on my own, I don't have the courage to marry, and I don't have the ability to support my family."

I have a friend who, together with his wife, earns 20,000 a month.

In a small city, with one child, there is a mortgage but no car loan.

It stands to reason that this income should be able to live well, but the two of them can hardly make ends meet, and moonlight is also a common thing.

Because of their "poor family background", the house and car were built by two people's hard work, and their parents were unable to help.

There are not a few young people like this.

This reminds me of a sentence:

"Live well and exhaust them already, so how dare they expect marriage and love?"

2. Fear of marriage

The popularity of the Internet, the rejuvenation of Internet users, and the trend of becoming a citizen have "opened their horizons" to more and more people.

Why are people of the older generation less afraid of marriage?

Just because the information they have access to often comes from newspapers, television and radio.

The information they receive is limited.

But now that the Internet is developed, any matter may be magnified and become a hot search and hot topic among netizens.

If there is no well-developed Internet, you will never know that other people suffer from domestic violence, being cheated on, or have an unhappy marriage.

Even if you know, maybe you don't care that much.

But the information that can often be seen now is: unlucky marriage, domestic violence, cheating, divorce, etc.

This also made the young people's unsteady idea of ​​getting married instantly crushed.

Not only that, once the marriages of relatives and friends around you are unhappy, it is easier for them to be disappointed in the marriage.

3. "Getting married is worse than making money"

More and more young people realize that marriage is not the end of life, but making money is.

When you have money, ability, high enough value and social status, you will find that love and marriage are in front of you, as simple as "eat and drink".

You have confidence, ability, time, and more patience to choose.

Faced with the choice of life, young people would rather give up the marriage in front of them and choose their own life and career.

It’s okay to fall in love, but not to talk about marriage;

It's okay to talk about love, but please don't delay me from making money.

You will find that young people in big cities, some professional elites, and high-level intellectuals are generally not willing to marry, and the age of first marriage will also be delayed.

Young people in small cities generally marry earlier.

It's about the environment, it's about the family, and it's about personal growth.

for example:

In big cities, you can find unmarried people in their 30s everywhere;

In a small city, you are not married in your 30s, and the children around you are all in elementary school.

Moreover, the urging of marriage by parents, the eyes and comments of relatives and neighbors will make some people have to get married.

4. "Active single"

There are also some people who choose to be single and not married, which is related to their own attitude towards life.

I like to stay at home, and I would rather rest, sleep, and read at home on every rest day than go to crowded places to join in the fun.

Occasionally, I long for love and fantasize about marriage, but in the end I choose a "semi-lying" life.

They will envy the sweet marriages in film and television dramas, but it doesn't mean they will choose that kind of life.

When a person voluntarily cuts off the contact with the opposite sex and the way of getting acquainted, then the ways for him to be able to go on a blind date will also be reduced.

I don’t want to go on a blind date, I don’t have friends of the opposite sex around me, and there are no channels for getting out of the singles. How can I choose love and marriage?

Of course, there are also many people who like this "unrestrained, free and easy" living state.

You don't have to wrong yourself for the sake of the other party;

You don't need to worry about managing your relationship;

There is no need to fall into anxiety about the complexity of marriage.

No matter what kind of life you choose, it is your own right.

Yu Feihong said such a passage in the program:

"Whether you are married, unmarried, or single, it is a way of life. Any of us is free to choose any form, but when you shackle yourself in your heart and ask you from the eyes of others, then It is your own sorrow."

Live for yourself, nothing, but don't regret;

Choosing to be single or married is a way of life.

Respect the choices of others and be worthy of your own decisions.

There are countless ways to live life, each of which should have its own splendor.
