recommendation: "Hold your hand and grow old with you", the simple 8 words once represented the Chinese people's yearning for a beautiful love and a happy life.
However, in today's modern society where efficiency and interests are increasingly valued, inheriting the concept of marriage for thousands of years is facing unprecedented challenges.
Not long ago, a news that there was "92 million empty nest young people living alone" in China became a hot search, which also made the older generation of parents panic.
According to statistics, as early as 2018, there were more than 77 million "empty nest youth" living alone in my country. It is estimated that in 2022, the data of " empty nest youth " will exceed 92 million.
So, why do a large number of single youth choose to be single nowadays? Is marriage really the grave of love like the "legend"?
By carefully checking the marriage and divorce situation in my country in recent years, we have discovered the real reason why young people are unwilling to get married and the divorce rate remains high.
Why are young people now unwilling to get married?
First of all, let’s take a look at the marriage situation in China in recent years.
According to previous data from National Bureau of Statistics and the Ministry of Civil Affairs, the national marriage rate in 2013 was 9.9‰, 9‰ in 2015, and dropped to 7.7‰ in 2017. The marriage rate in 2018 was only 7.2‰, and the marriage rate in 2021 was only 5.4‰.
Among them, in 2021, the number of marriage registrations in my country has dropped to 7.636 million pairs, falling below the 8 million mark, which is about 2.5 million pairs less than the 10.108 million pairs in 2018. In just a few years, it can be seen that the marriage situation in my country is no longer optimistic.
Young people are unwilling to get married mainly because they now seem to have become a "money transaction".
In the past, young people were as capable as they were when they got married, and they were done with the neighbors around them. But what about now? Young people need to compare when they get married. First of all, the wedding bride price is high, and , three gold, and other things cannot be worse than others.
Secondly, the standard item before marriage is to buy a car and a house. If these standard items cannot meet, then the marriage may be ruined.
Finally, when getting married, those who don’t have luxury cars will have to rent luxury cars, and those who don’t have money will also have to go to the hotel to hold the so-called “ritual wedding”. It will cost tens of thousands of yuan to find a professional wedding team to buy it simply.
According to the research of the Professor Professor of Peking University Guanghua School of Management Fu Guoqun team: From the 1980s to today, the average scale of wedding banquets in ordinary Chinese families has increased from 14 tables to 36 tables, which is 2.6 times that of the past.
It is no exaggeration to say that getting married now is simply a "money-burning game". You might as well take a look at the "flow chart" of marriage above. Which stage does not reveal the taste of money, and which one does not need money to handle it?
So, in the eyes of many young people, marriage has changed its flavor and is no longer an era that only pursues love and happiness. Marriage is not so sacred and desirable in people's hearts.
Why has the divorce rate remained high over the years?
Many people will find that the pressure of life will become greater and greater when they get married.
For example, when you are single, young people can live a more relaxed life without too much financial and mental pressure. But after getting married, raising children will consume a lot of energy from parents as they are born; in addition, parents also have to bear long-term housing loans, car loans, living expenses, supporting the elderly, etc., which leads to increasing pressure on young people after marriage.
Under various pressures, many people finally chose to divorce, which is also a very helpless and sad thing.
To sum up, young people are not getting married this year, busy with divorce, and pursuing the life they yearn for is likely to be affected by the superposition of various social factors, and young people cannot blame them.
After all, the social atmosphere has turned divorce into a "common meal". In the past, when a couple divorced, they would be looked down upon by their relatives around them.But what about now? Divorce people no longer feel that divorce is a sad thing. On the contrary, ladies who are second-married are also very popular in the marriage market, and people's values have obviously changed drastically.
I wonder what you think about this phenomenon?
