With the progress and change of society, more and more young people choose to postpone marriage or not to get married, which has aroused widespread concern and thinking in society. Why are young people nowadays reluctant to get married? It is a complex issue that involves many factors such as social pressures, economic pressures, personal pursuits, etc.

First of all, social pressure is one of the important factors affecting young people's willingness to get married. In modern society, marriage is seen as a necessary stage of life, and marriage is also given many expectations and responsibilities. Young people often face pressure from family, friends and society to believe that they should marry early and take on the responsibilities of the family. However, this pressure often conflicts with young people's personal pursuits and values, leading them to resist marriage.

Secondly, financial pressure is also an important reason why young people are reluctant to get married. With the increase in the cost of living such as housing prices and prices, the economic expenses required for marriage and childbirth are increasing. Many young people fear that their financial situation will not be able to meet the needs of marriage and family, so they choose to postpone marriage or not get married. In addition, some young people also want to wait until their careers and financial situation are more stable before considering marriage to secure the future of themselves and their families.

In addition, the shift in personal pursuits and values is also one of the reasons why young people are reluctant to get married. Young people in modern society are more focused on personal growth, freedom, and independence, and they are more inclined to pursue their dreams and goals rather than being bound by traditional notions of marriage. Many young people choose to pursue their careers, hobbies, and social lives rather than making marriage the only goal of their lives. They believe that marriage is not the whole of life, but a part of it, and therefore they are not willing to give up their pursuits and values in order to get married.

In addition, the existence of some social problems has also affected young people's concept of marriage. For example, domestic violence, divorce and other issues in marriage make some young people distrust marriage. They fear that their marriage will also face these problems, so they choose to remain single. In addition, some young people are also concerned about the negative impact of marriage on their career and career development, so they choose to postpone marriage or not get married.

To sum up, there are many reasons why young people are reluctant to get married, involving factors such as social pressure, economic pressure, changes in personal pursuits and values, and the existence of social problems. However, whatever the reason, we should respect young people's choices and understand their aspirations and values. At the same time, society should also provide more support and assistance to young people to reduce their stress and allow them to freely choose their own lifestyle.

To encourage young people to be positive about marriage and family life, we can start with the following aspects. First of all, it is necessary to strengthen marriage education and family education, and help young people establish a correct concept of marriage and family. Let them understand the true meaning and responsibilities of marriage and how to build a healthy, harmonious relationship in marriage. Second, improve the economic ability and career development level of young people, and create a better economic environment and employment opportunities for them. This will help alleviate their financial stress and improve the quality of their marriage and family life. Finally, strengthen social support and assistance to provide more marriage counselling and family services for young people. This will help solve the problems they encounter in their marriage and family life and enhance their confidence and sense of responsibility in marriage and family.

In short, the reluctance of young people to get married is a complex social phenomenon that requires us to analyze and improve from many aspects. We should respect the choices and values of young people, provide them with more support and assistance, and give them the freedom to choose their own lifestyle. At the same time, we should also strengthen marriage education and family education, improve the economic ability and career development of young people, and strengthen social support and assistance, so as to encourage more young people to face marriage and family life positively.
