Some data say that in recent years, China's marriage rate has been declining continuously. Marriage is no longer the only way that everyone is anxious to go through, and some single men and women are not willing to be in love. Is this a phenomenon reflected by the times, or does it reflect the characteristics of an era? The national marriage rate has dropped for five consecutive years Why don't young people like to get married in recent years? I really want to know what it is. Let's have a look with Xiaobian.
What are the reasons why young people don't like to get married
The national marriage rate was 9.9 & permil; in 2013, 9.6 & permil; in 2014, 9 & permil; in 2015, 8.3 & permil; in 2016, and 7.7 & permil; in 2017. In 2018, China's marriage rate was only 7.2 & permil;, a new low since 2013. In addition, there is an obvious regional gap in the marriage rate. From the perspective of provinces and autonomous regions, the more developed the economy is, the lower the marriage rate is. For example, in 2018, the marriage rates of Shanghai and Zhejiang were the last two in China, with only 4.4 & permil; and 5.9 & permil; respectively, and the marriage rates of Guangdong, Beijing and Tianjin were also low. The areas with the highest marriage rate are underdeveloped areas such as Tibet, Qinghai, Anhui and Guizhou. Guizhou's marriage rate will reach 11.1 & permil; in 2018, which is the highest in China.

The decrease of marriage rate is related to the total population structure. In 2018, China's annual birth population was 15.23 million, 2 million less than that of 17.23 million in 2017, with a natural population growth rate of 3.81 & permil;. In 2018, the national birth rate was 10.94 & permil;, which was further lower than 12.43 & permil; in 2017. From the emotional point of view, with the progress and development of society, the post-80s and post-90s' sense of independence is increasingly enhanced, and their awe for the tradition is also gradually reduced, and more emphasis is placed on the appeal of personal emotion. In addition, the heavy economic pressure leads to the utilitarianism of marriage, which makes the anxiety of marriage diffuse and makes the degree of personal dependence on marriage and family lower and lower. More and more people think that marriage is no longer the standard of life, the only choice.
Marriage is not the only way to happiness. Xiaobian believes that people who are independent in heart and economy can gain happiness in every way of life.
