There is a "strange phenomenon" in the countryside, and young people seem to ignore it? It is on a par with the problem of "wife shortage".
In rural China, there is a nickname called "wife is hard to find". This is mainly due to the acceleration of urbanization, and the fact that young people from rural areas have gone to the cities to work or work in the cities, resulting in a shortage of supply in the rural marriage and love market, and a large number of farmers cannot find suitable spouses for themselves, forming a situation of "wife shortage". However, with the passage of time, a "strange phenomenon" has also emerged: although the problem of "wife shortage" has not been well alleviated, in our country, young people's views on marriage have undergone a great change, and some are no longer as eager to marry a daughter-in-law as before, and some look indifferent.
First of all, the author starts from the causes of "wife shortage and hard to find", and analyzes its causes. In the context of accelerated urbanization, many young people have left the countryside and entered the cities in search of broader development space. This has led to a massive loss of rural labour, especially a large number of young men who have migrated to the cities to work, while women have remained in the countryside.
The Chinese custom of "men should marry, and women should marry" has caused a "wife shortage" in China's rural areas. At present, a large number of rural men in China are in the dilemma of "finding a single person and not being able to marry a wife", which has given rise to a series of social problems such as abduction and trafficking of women, buying and selling marriages, and so on.
At the same time, however, there is a change in the way some young people approach the issue of marriage. They changed their previous mentality of being anxious to get married and have children, and began to attach importance to the freedom and development of individuality. Especially in rural areas, some young people are even more dismissive of marriage. The reason for this change is not only economic, but also a change in people's thinking.
At the social level, the income gap between urban and rural areas has been narrowing due to the development of the rural economy, and the quality of life of young people has gradually improved. They now have more options and opportunities, rather than seeing marriage as the only way to live. They are more inclined to seek self-development and self-liberation, to work hard outside, to find another path in life.
In addition, changes in social thinking have also affected young people's view of marriage to a certain extent. With the development of the times, the people's minds are becoming more and more enlightened, the traditional concept of marriage is being broken, and more and more people regard their happiness and quality of life as more and more important, and no longer regard marriage as a responsibility, but a responsibility. Therefore, some young people postpone or postpone their marriage, which is also related to the "wife shortage", but they pay more attention to their own life attitudes and choices.
However, people's indifference to marriage has also caused concern. At present, the phenomenon of "wife shortage" in our country has not been eliminated, and many peasants are in an embarrassing situation where they have no one to marry. In addition, the delay in marriage or non-marriage of young men has an impact on the demographic composition and family stability of rural areas, and thus on society as a whole. In this context, people are faced with the contradiction between how to seek individual choices and the development of society.
In short, although the phenomenon of "wife shortage is difficult to find" is still widespread in China's rural areas, due to the passage of time, the mentality of young men and women towards marriage is also constantly changing. Compared with the "blind" marriage of the past, young people today pay more attention to their own growth and choices. Of course, there is some truth to this viewpoint, but we must proceed from the stability and development of society as a whole. To this end, it is necessary for the society, society and individuals to work together to explore a marriage development method that takes into account the needs of individuals and social development, so that the happiness of individuals can be combined with the harmony of society.
