The underlying implications behind the rising divorce rate.
According to a recent statistic, the divorce rate in China has exceeded 45%, of which the post-90s generation has become the mainstream group of divorce, and the post-00s generation is even more inclined not to get married. The marital dynamics behind this reveal two striking perceptions. First of all, the group of divorces is constantly expanding. Data for the first three quarters of 2023 reinforces this view. During that time, nearly 5.69 million couples across the country chose to enter into marriage, while the number of divorces was increasing quarter by quarter, and the number of divorced people even exceeded the marriage group. The second perception is that the attitude of the current young generation towards marriage has been greatly diluted, and the absence of weddings is also accepted by the general public, including the parents of young people, as long as the children can feel happy.
The awakening of women.
In addition, two other interesting developments can be discerned from this phenomenon. First of all, who says women should swallow their anger? According to the Ministry of Civil Affairs, about 80 per cent of divorce applications are filed by women first. This means that women are becoming less silent, a change that may be explained by the fact that divorce rates are rising and that social progress is reflected. Further, it shows that women already have more room to develop, that they can survive on their own without male support, and that they are living quite well. This really gave them the courage to divorce.
Marriage does not meet the expectations of modern youth.
Many heart-wrenching marriage cases can be found from the entertainment industry. Contemporary couples often choose to divorce because of trivial matters or inconsistent views. These things may have been overlooked in the past, but in the eyes of women in the new era, these things have been deemed intolerable by more and more women. Therefore, they decided to choose divorce to protect their rights and dignity.
Looking Ahead: Future Momentum for Marriage.
Looking to the future, some people may wonder if people will eventually choose not to get married. While this trend seems evident today, it is too early to say that marriage will die. Because humans are social animals by nature, we all fear loneliness and want someone who can respond to our emotions and help us when we need it. Marriage is such a relatively stable relationship of mutual dependence and mutual help. However, if people don't plan to have children in the future, then marriage may not really need to exist anymore.
