    Now, more and more people are moving to cities to make a living. The pressure of life has become very great, and without the accumulation of parents in the city, it is difficult to work hard in the city on your own. Most of them are financially wealthy before they consider getting married and having children.

    The birth rate is getting lower and lower, and the age of marriage is being postponed as people generally improve their educational qualifications.

    At present, the people who are in the age of marriage are basically post-90s, and their education level is relatively high, and their views on marriage are not as rigid and conservative as those of the past. Nowadays, women pursue equal marriage, do not like machismo, and are financially independent, it is more difficult to meet the person who suits them, and modern women seem to be afraid of childbearing, trouble with children, and various reasons such as body shape. Nowadays, men rarely want to take the initiative to get married unless they have family reasons, and men's marital age is not a problem, and they all hope to find a better wife after their economic ability is improved, and the concept of marriage and love has changed.

    Nowadays, you basically need to have a car and a house to get married, and you have to have a house no matter how bad it is. However, house prices have risen sharply in recent years, just like that rocket, and the increase has long exceeded our wage increases. Nowadays, whether there is a house or not seems to have become one of the important obstacles to getting married, which is also one of the important reasons for the marriage rate to decrease year by year.

    The post-90s generation has not graduated from college for a few years, and some have just graduated, coupled with the family conditions are not very good, they can't do anything about the down payment of 40 600,000 yuan at every turn. I have a few friends around me, and I have saved resources from my parents, have a house and a car, and get married after graduation. There is also a buddy who bought the house at the beginning of this year and used his salary of less than 6,000 to pay off the mortgage of 5,500.

    There is also a family in the countryside, 2 years after graduating from college, and his girlfriend reached the point of talking about marriage, and broke up because of the house problem.

    Moreover, everyone's requirements for marriage are different from those of the older generation, and most of them would rather live alone than just listen to their parents and find a similar one. Many urban marriageable young people said that they would rather be short than excessive, and they were not in a hurry to get married. Marriage is a lifelong thing, and it is still necessary to find someone who has the same three views and can communicate at a deep level to spend the rest of your life with, and age should not be a necessary factor in deciding whether to get married.

    Now there are more than 100 million marriageable singles, and young people are becoming more and more reluctant to get married, mainly for the following reasons.

    The cost of marriage is too high, both parties are too picky, the requirements for the quality of the relationship are getting higher and higher, both people are too selfish, unwilling to pay, and if they don't find the right one, they will remain single.

    The poor can't afford it, and the rich don't want to get it.

    The reason why there are fewer and fewer people who get married in today's society is because the town is developing rapidly in today's society, and the pressure of life and work is very high, and getting married will increase their own pressure.

    There are mainly the following reasons: 1. The high bride price, many people have reached the point of talking about marriage, and began to seek a better life in the future, but they broke up because of the rising bride price. 2. High housing prices now get married and generally have to buy a house, high housing prices make many people prohibitive, even if you take out a loan to buy a house, it is a very hard thing to repay the mortgage. 3. Poor economic conditions: It is very difficult for people who do not have a house, a car or a deposit to get married.

    Without the accumulation of money, life after marriage will be difficult, and there are many places to spend money after marriage. 4. I didn't meet the right person, and some people didn't get married because I didn't meet someone I liked, and I didn't meet someone who had the same three views as me and had the same family background. 5. The mate selection conditions are high, and some of them have very good conditions, and the mate selection conditions are also very high.

    I have money, a house and a car, and I want to find someone with similar conditions as myself. 6. Ideological changes Nowadays, people are not like the older generation who got married very early, they are different from the older generation, they have a higher level of education, advocate freedom, do not want to be arranged, would rather lack than abuse, some are still unmarried, and do not want to be bound by the life after marriage, for them age is not a necessary factor for marriage.

    Indeed, there are more and more people who marry late now, but we don't seem to want to get married too early this year, according to statistics, the marriage rate in China in 2018 is only, and it has continued until this year, and the marriage rate has not increased significantly, but the divorce rate has remained high. In the past, two people got married in order to save the cost of living and share resources, so as to relieve the pressure of life and improve happiness. Today's marriage will directly lower the quality of life of two people, and the increasing pressure of life has directly affected the motivation of Ju Lu Jing to get married.

    I remember that Li Zhengshen Zongsheng had a lyric: "I never wanted to be single, but I had a premonition that I would marry later." I'm waiting, the only soul in the world."

    It can be said that my marriage rate has decreased in recent years, and many young people are becoming more and more reluctant to get married, and even show resistance to marriage. When you get married, you will be very afraid of life after marriage. In fact, most of the reasons why young people are afraid of marriage are family reasons or lack of confidence in marriage and their own love.

    Around everyone, there seem to be some people, these people are not young, they have already reached the legal age of marriage, and they are even about to pass the marriageable age, but people are not in a hurry to get married. Some people who are not in a hurry to get married are because they have not met the right person and want to wait, while some people are directly afraid of marriage. Due to the lack of sexual guidance, many people will have a one-sided understanding of marriage.

    No one has ever told them what love is and what marriage is, and they don't understand why they want to get married. It is not uncommon to hear statements such as "the purpose of marriage is more like tying up the other party, so marriage is more binding than love", which sees marriage as a tool and makes people shy away from marriage. Because it's too self-conscious.

    Marriage-phobic people often have high requirements for the quality of life of marriage, so some people have average conditions, but they want to marry a rich and handsome person or marry Bai Fumei, but they don't have such means and luck, but they are not willing to find a partner with their average conditions to marry. After all, after the two people with average conditions get married, if it is not for the rapid economic development, the family living standard will be lower than when the two are single, and the family expenses have always been greater than the personal expenses. Too realistic is also the reason why some people are afraid of marriage.

    Now falling in love has a strong purpose, and as soon as it comes up, you have to mention your family background, work situation, etc. If you don't have enough economic strength, you may be "cut in half" at the same time. When talking about getting married, the first thing that comes to mind is the house, the car, and the bride price.

    By the time economic conditions are put on the table for comparison and discussion, most of the romance of marriage has passed. Family factors: The original families of most people who are afraid of marriage are not happy. There are also those who feel that the person they are looking for now is not suitable for marriage.

    Either because the partner's job is unstable and the income is not high, there will be conflicts when they get married in the future. Otherwise, it is possible that two people feel that they have no emotional foundation to be together. In short, many people have no basic sense of trust in marriage because of this reason.

    Naturally, there is no way to let yourself enter into marriage with confidence.

    There are so few people getting married now, it is a change in the concept of marriage, and the gradual postponement of the marriage age has led to a decline in the marriage rate, but it does not mean that there are fewer people who get married, but the late spring will come later. Look around, there is no one who doesn't want to get married. In particular, the younger generation of college students, who pursue self-improvement and study for a doctorate, makes the age of marriage gradually lag behind, and it is only a matter of time before they get married.

    An economist issued an article saying that China's marriage rate rose from 2000 to 2013, and then decreased year by year, and the marriage rate dropped to 2020; The divorce rate rose from 2000 to 2020. In 2013, the number of marriage registrations in China was 10,000 pairs, and in 2021, the number of marriage registration pairs dropped to 10,000 pairs, declining for eight consecutive years. In addition, the age of first marriage has been significantly delayed.

    He analyzed the reasons for the decline in the number of marriages and suggested that: increase residential land in large cities** and give subsidies to families with children to buy houses; reduce the cost of childbirth, parenting, and education; Establish a gender-equal and child-friendly social support system; relaxation of conditions for adoption and adoption; The legal age of marriage was lowered to 18 years; Guarantee the reproductive rights of single women.

    Among them, the idea of "suggesting that the legal age of marriage be lowered to 18 years old" sparked heated discussions among netizens and appeared on Weibo hot searches. Some netizens said, "The first few suggestions for hail masks are very good, forget about early marriage, marry in a daze, and the divorce rate will only be higher."

    There are also netizens who think that "I don't support the change, it's early to be 20 years old", "What's the use of lowering the legal age of marriage, and the fertility rate will not be raised", "Young people don't get married because of life pressure, or should they increase residents' income as soon as possible". However, there are also those who agree with the view that "it should indeed be lowered" and "support marriage at the age of 18......

    Subsequently, the expert issued an article again saying that it was recently proposed that the legal age of marriage be lowered to 18 years old, which caused social discussion and controversy, in fact, this is a very common sense problem, China's legal marriage age is 22 years old for men and 20 years old for women, 18 years old for men and 16 years old for women in Japan, 18 years old for men and 18 years old for women in the United States, 21 years old for men and 18 years old for women in India, and 18 years old for men and women in Germany, France, Canada, Mexico, etc. A series of problems such as birth, empty birth, etc.

    He said that the ultra-low fertility rate and the rapid shrinking of the young population have become major challenges for Chinese society. To increase the fertility rate, the department needs to introduce relevant policies and measures to encourage young people to get married and have children, and actively introduce relevant policies to reduce the cost of marriage and childbirth for young people. In addition, all parties in society also need to guide young people to establish a positive outlook on marriage and love, jointly care about the marriage of marriageable people, and actively create favorable conditions to help more single young people enter marriage and establish families.

    Getting married late, or even not getting married, is because everyone needs to be educated, need to study, need to work, lay a certain foundation, and have a more mature ability to cope with life. It's because everyone has more choices, and there are other things that are more important. Or maybe it's because you can't always meet the right person.

    For those who marry late, it has nothing to do with them how their age drops. They or they are busy earning money and growing up.

    The reasons for the decline in the number of marriages are: first, the number of young people is declining, second, the marriageable population is more male than female, third, the cost of raising children is high, fourth, the cost of marriage is high, fifth, the social competition is fierce, the employment pressure is high, and the sixth is that the concept of marriage of the younger generation has changed. Lowering the age of marriage is not the fundamental reason for childbearing, the key is that the pressure is too great, and the 18-year-old outlook on life is still immature, and he cannot enter the siege of marriage too early.

    Although lowering the age of marriage may increase the fertility rate to a certain extent, if measures to lower the legal age of marriage are taken alone, it may not be effective in solving the problem of long-term balanced population development. If the legal age of marriage will be lowered to 18 years old, then men and women have the right to choose whether to marry themselves on the basis of sufficient mental and physical maturity, but this stage is an important period for students' studies, and their individuals should also make full consideration and careful decisions.

    If, after the implementation of domestic measures to encourage childbirth, the desired effect is not achieved, the relevant departments may further improve or upgrade the policy to encourage childbirth or implement other new policies to solve the current problem of childbirth. If you want to increase the fertility rate, you should increase the residential land in large cities** and give subsidies to families with children to buy houses; reduce the cost of childbirth, parenting, and education; Establish a gender-equal and child-friendly social support system; relaxation of conditions for adoption and adoption; The legal age of marriage was lowered to 18 years; Nasong protects the reproductive rights of single women.
