In the past decade or so, the phenomenon of "wife shortage" in rural areas has become more and more serious, and the number of singles has been increasing. This has created many problems for rural society, and the elderly fear that over time, the depopulation will lead to the abandonment of many villages. There are three main reasons for the worsening of the "wife shortage" in rural areas: the imbalance in the gender ratio in rural areas, the difference in economic development between urban and rural areas, and the poor economic conditions of some single-person families. However, in the face of this phenomenon, rural singles can take some measures to solve the problem of difficulty in marrying wives. They can improve their economic power, actively participate in social interactions, lower their requirements and consider transnational marriages with foreign women. Through these efforts, we hope to gradually alleviate and solve the problem of "wife shortage" in rural areas.
1.Imbalance in the gender ratio in rural areas: In the last century, a patriarchal mentality prevailed in some rural areas, resulting in boys for women of childbearing age and abortion or abandonment of girls. Over time, the consequences of this preference became apparent, leading to a relative scarcity of women in rural areas.
2.Urban-rural economic disparities: Many rural women choose to work outside the home because of the abundance of urban job opportunities, higher wages, and higher stability after marriage. This makes them reluctant to return to the countryside, further exacerbating the problem of "wife shortage" in the countryside.
3.Poor economic conditions: Some rural single-family families have poor economic conditions and are unable to provide high bride price and purchase power, resulting in difficulty in finding a spouse and can only remain single.
1.Improve economic strength: Rural singles can improve their economic strength by starting a business, doing business, etc. Only with a certain amount of financial strength can you play a more active role in marriage and increase your chances of marrying a woman of appropriate age.
2.Actively participate in social interactions: Rural singles cannot stay in the village all the time, expecting others to solve the problem of difficulty in marrying a wife. They should take the initiative to participate in society, and they can go out to work and meet women of appropriate age through the opportunity of work. Through external communication, they can not only improve the economic conditions of their families, but also increase the opportunities for contact with women of appropriate age, enhance understanding and cultivate feelings. Only by participating more in society can you find your own other half.
3.Lower your own requirements: It is a good option for rural singles to lower some of their marriage requirements. They may consider marrying a second-married woman. The requirements for second-married women are relatively low, on the one hand, it can reduce the financial burden of bachelors when they get married, and on the other hand, second-married women also cherish this new marriage more and have a better chance of building a happy marriage.
4.Transnational marriage: Rural singles can consider marrying foreign women to solve the problem of difficulty in marrying wives. There are many advantages to marrying a foreign woman, such as the bride price and the house, which are not too important. Singles can solve their marriage problems by working overseas through labor dispatch companies, contacting and getting to know local women. In addition, local marriage agencies can introduce some women from developing countries to rural singles, where there are relatively many women, and the marriage problems of rural singles can also be solved through foreign-related marriages.
The solution to the problem of "wife shortage" in rural areas is inseparable from the joint efforts of all parties. **Entrepreneurship support and training can be provided through policy guidance;The society can provide more communication opportunities, organize networking activities, etc.;Individuals should constantly improve their own quality and enhance their ability to adapt to society. In addition, we should also pay attention to the long-term solution to the problem of "wife shortage" in rural areas, such as changing people's gender perceptions through education and narrowing the economic gap between urban and rural areas. Only by comprehensively applying various means can we gradually alleviate and solve the problem of "wife shortage" in rural areas.
The phenomenon of "wife shortage" in rural areas is becoming more and more serious, and the number of singles is constantly increasing, which has brought many problems to rural society. By analyzing the causes, we can see that the imbalance between the gender ratio in rural areas, the difference in economic development between urban and rural areas, and the poor economic conditions of individual families are the main reasons for the "wife shortage". To solve this problem, rural singles can improve their economic power, actively participate in social interactions, lower their own requirements, and consider a variety of ways to cross borders. However, solving the problem of "wife shortage" requires the joint efforts of society, society and individuals, and through the cooperation of all parties, we are expected to gradually alleviate and solve the problem of "wife shortage" in rural areas.
