Talking about marriage is a top priority for each of us.
Marriage is also the beginning of the birth of a new family.
However, in recent years, the marriage rate in our country has been declining.
According to the latest data released by the Ministry of Civil Affairs, there were 2.107 million registered marriage couples nationwide in the first quarter. Compared with 2.132 million pairs in the first quarter of 2021, there was a decrease of 25,000 pairs, a year-on-year decrease of 1.2%.
The number of people registering marriage in 2021 has reached a new low since 1986, only 56.6% of the peak in 2013!
On the contrary, the divorce rate in our country is constantly rising:
Since 2013, the divorce rate in our country has continued to rise. From more than 1.3 million at the beginning, it has doubled now. According to data, in the first quarter of 2019 alone, the number of divorces in my country reached 1.048 million!
Although the number of divorce registrations in the first quarter has dropped to 514,000, which is only an increase of 218,000 from 2021, this is all due to the divorce cooling-off system.
Many people may think that the divorce rate has dropped significantly, but when combined, the divorce rate has actually increased.
Because there are not many people getting married, it is normal for the divorce rate to decrease.
Marriage is the beginning of the birth of a new family, and it is also the sublimation of feelings.
But now, various "strange phenomena" have appeared in our country - There are fewer marriages, older marriage ages, and more divorces.
Regarding these strange phenomena, some experts said:
"It is normal for the divorce rate to increase year by year. This can be said to be a manifestation of social progress. In the past days, in many families, even if there were relationship problems, due to the opinions of others, You will still get by. But nowadays, divorce is common in the eyes of others, so it is normal for the divorce rate to increase. "
The divorce rate has remained high. Experts believe that there are several main reasons:
① Fast pace:
Today's. Society has already entered a fast-paced era, and the same is true for marriage. In the past, young people basically needed 2-3 years of love before getting married. After getting to know each other, they will enter the palace of marriage.
But nowadays, many young people like flash marriages. Not only is there no emotional foundation, the two parties have little understanding of each other, and the possibility of divorce is naturally much higher.
② The main force in divorce:
Today’s post-90s generation is the main force in marriage, and so is divorce. Many born in the 1990s are only children and have been pampered since childhood. When two people born in the 1990s come together, one of them must be more humble. Once both parties refuse to give in, it is easy to intensify the conflict and lead to divorce.
③ Times have changed:
As mentioned above, the current era is very different from the past. In the past, few people would get divorced because of trivial matters. And at that time, everyone thought divorce was a disgraceful thing. Even if there are problems in the relationship, they will barely get by. But now times have changed, and everyone’s views on divorce have also changed.
Many people believe that an unsuitable marriage should end as soon as possible, and there is no need to waste each other's time.
④ Economic independence:
In the past days, in a family, the man was basically responsible for making money, and the woman was responsible for the affairs of the family. But now, many women have gone out to work and have become financially independent. Many women even earn higher wages than men.
When the woman is financially independent and has no financial dependence on the man, once the relationship is at odds, it is easy for both parties to separate.
With the development of the times, many young people are pursuing a free life. They believe that entering the palace of marriage is not necessarily a new beginning, but will instead become a bondage for themselves.
Secondly, faced with the pressure of high housing prices and high betrothal gifts, many people think that the cost of marriage is too high, and a person can be happy alone.
