now there are more and more people seeking marriage and more and more people going on blind dates. Why are there more and more single people? In recent years, there is a growing trend of single people, and there are many outstanding people among the remaining men and women. Why is it more and more difficult to get rid of the single. That's the way to find out.
China is the country with the most serious imbalance of sex ratio at birth in the world. The basic reason for the high sex ratio at birth is the preference for boys. The long-term imbalance of the sex ratio of the birth population results in the imbalance of the proportion of men and women in the marriageable age group. The number of men in the marriageable age group is much higher than that of women in the marriageable age group, resulting in the shortage of female population.
According to the data released by the National Bureau of statistics, the ratio of men and women in the post-80s' unmarried population is 136 to 100, and the ratio of men and women in the Post-70s' unmarried population is 206 to 100, which is seriously unbalanced. As a result, many men are forced to be single. The social problems of "leftover men" are becoming more and more serious. It is more difficult for men of marriageable age to get married, and it is difficult to solve the single problem. When the post-90s enter the age of marriage and childbirth, this phenomenon will be more serious. With the development of social economy and the publicity and popularization of the idea of equality between men and women, women and men have equal access to education. In recent years, more and more women have received higher education. According to China Statistical Yearbook, in 2000, only 0.88% of women went on undergraduate study. In 2015, the proportion reached 5.76%, an increase of nearly six times. In addition, women accounted for 45.4% of the total number of graduate students in 2015, an increase of 15.2 percentage points compared with 2000.
The increase of women's years of education is bound to affect the age of marriage and love, leading to the postponement of marriage age. Census data show that highly educated women are more difficult to find a spouse. From 2000 to 2010, the marriage rate of men and women decreased significantly. In 2010, the marriage rate of female graduate students dropped to less than 50%, and the age group of 25-34 years old dropped significantly. In 2010, the number of women in the 20-29 age group of graduate students has exceeded that of men. In other words, the number of new graduate students is mainly women. For women with a graduate degree, the main problems they face are the increase of age and the decrease of candidate spouses.
Women with higher education tend to choose spouses with the same or higher education in order to have more common language, while men don't mind looking for a wife with higher education level.
The demand for economic income is rising: women in Shenzhen demand 15920 yuan, and economic income is an important factor for single men and women when choosing a mate. According to the third issue of the series of reports on the current situation of single people in 2016 released by zhenai.com, with the development of material economy, women's economic requirements for men are also rising. More than 80% of single women believe that 5000 yuan is the starting point of men's income. Among them, 67.06% of single women require men to earn 5000-10000 yuan, and 25.02% of single women require men to earn more than 10000 yuan. Shenzhen, Beijing, Shanghai, Wuhan and Guangzhou are the five cities with the highest demands on men's income nationwide. In contrast, men generally have lower requirements for women's income, and 80% of single men say that their partner's income below 5000 is acceptable.
Single men and women with a monthly average disposable income of more than 8000 yuan are called golden singles. According to zhenai.com, Shanghai has the largest proportion of golden singles, followed by Beijing, Shenzhen, Hangzhou and Guangzhou. Among the groups with an average disposable income of more than 8000 yuan per month, the number of single women is more than that of single men. In the first tier cities, the number of economically independent single women is increasing, and the requirements for spouse selection are higher and higher. Women's age requirements for mate selection are lower than men's: men tend to find younger partners. According to the "2016 single people status series report 3" released by zhenai.com, 80% of single men tend to find younger partners, while more than 90% of single women say that their future partner must be older than themselves. It can be seen that the scope of mate selection of women is larger than that of men.
In addition, based on economic and family considerations, women tend to find men older than their age. From the economic point of view, men who are older than most of their own age enter the society first and have a certain economic foundation. From the family point of view, older men have stable personality, high patience and tolerance, stable marriage and family, and low divorce rate in the future. Therefore, it is difficult for men of the same age to find a suitable mate. With the increase of divorce rate, women have more opportunities to choose again. After the reform and opening up, the society is undergoing rapid transformation, and the concept of marriage is also changing. The idea of eternal marriage is getting weaker and weaker, and there are more and more temptations. In addition, the simplification of divorce procedures also makes divorce simple and convenient. From 1978 to 2002, China's divorce rate rose steadily. From 2002 to 2015, the divorce rate rose rapidly, increasing by 1.89 thousand points.
With the improvement of women's economic status, women began to realize their own personality and value, and they were no longer submissive to their husband's power. The feudal traditional idea of "marry a chicken with a chicken, marry a dog with a dog" has been abandoned. Freedom of marriage is a basic democratic right of citizens. Divorce is no longer taboo, but a chance to make a new choice to strive for new happiness. Getting rid of the single is not cheap: the marriage industry supported by the single dog has a huge single population, which is bound to bring a solid user base to the marriage industry. According to statistics, in 2015, the market scale was 2.7 billion yuan, forming four dominant oligopoly competition patterns. Shiji Jiayuan, Youyuan, zhenai and Baihe account for nearly 63% of the industry share. In the future, with the increasing demand of the post-80s and post-90s, the online marriage industry will have a broader space for growth.
At present, most marriage websites in China provide online and offline services to meet the needs of users. According to the different service content, there are some differences in the charging standards. Take a certain platform as an example, the one-to-one matchmaker service charge is higher, starting from 9800 yuan for unmarried people. In addition, these love and marriage websites are also using emerging technologies for dating.
For example, VR technology: the combination of Internet dating and VR is reflected in three aspects: first, VR version of 'if you are the one', panoramic restoration of the program process; second, offline dating activities are made into VR live, so that people who can not come to the scene can experience the scene through VR live; third, for one-to-one matchmaker service, users' panoramic photos can be displayed through VR. There are lbs positioning technology and intelligent wearable devices to feel each other's heartbeat. Of course, there are matchmakers in the traditional marriage market. At present, there are many matchmakers introducing marriage cases in rural villages and towns in China. The remuneration of matchmakers varies with economic development and local customs.
