Have you noticed that the young people around you are getting married later and later? According to the "Chinese Population and Employment Statistics Yearbook 2023", the unmarried rate of the population continues to rise in both urban and rural areas. In particular, young people aged 25-29 have a marriage rate of only 441%！And this trend seems to be spreading from urban to rural areas.
Why are young people increasingly reluctant to marry early? There are many reasons behind this. First of all, with the development of society, the level of education of young people has generally improved, and they pay more attention to personal development and career success. At the same time, there is increasing pressure from job competition, which has forced them to postpone marriage and childbearing.
In rural areas, the phenomenon is even more pronounced. The vast majority of the post-90s and post-00s in rural areas have grown up and worked in cities and towns, and they are facing greater pressure from job competition. This has also led to the phenomenon of delaying marriage and childbearing.
The spread of late marriage is not only a matter of personal choice, but also an inevitable result of social development. But the question that arises is that this trend may have an impact on the birth rate and family structure. Balancing personal development and family responsibilities has become a challenge for the younger generation.
As individuals, we also need to think about how to better plan for our future. While pursuing personal development and professional success, we cannot ignore the importance of family and marriage. After all, family is the cornerstone of our lives and the harbor of our hearts.
