China has a headache because young people refuse to get married
Two years ago, Joanne Su was still worried when she turned 30 and her parents kept urging her to get married.
She works in a trading company in Guangzhou, south China. With a good income, she often spends weekends with her friends. For Su and her parents, there is only one problem to solve, that is, she is not married.
“At that time, I felt that the age of 30 was an important threshold. The closer I got to this threshold, the more pressure I had to find the right person to marry, that pressure came from my parents and myself.”said Su.
Now she is 31 years old, still single, but no longer worried. “What’s the point of living with people you don’t like and then getting divorced a few years later? It’s just a waste of time,” Su said.
She is one of a growing number of Chinese millennials who are delaying or refusing to get married. Over the past six years, the number of Chinese getting married for the first time has dropped by 41 percent, from 23.8 million in 2013 to 13.9 million in 2019, according to data from China’s National Bureau of Statistics.
According to Chinese officials and sociologists, this trend is partly due to a decades-long family planning policy, which means fewer young people in China. But this is also the result of changing attitudes towards marriage, especially among women, as more and more people are fed up with society’s gender inequality.
“More and more young women think: Why should I get married? What’s to expect from getting married?” Li Xuan, an associate professor of psychology at New York University in Shanghai, who studies family issues. “Gender inequality is really making young women in China hesitant to get married.”
In addition, work pressure and long and tiring working hours also leave young people with no time and energy to build relationships and maintain a family life, Li said.
Statistics show that both sexes delay marriage. Between 1990 and 2016, the average age of first marriage increased from 22 to 25 for women and from 24 to 27 for Chinese men. This figure is even higher in big cities. In Shanghai in 2015, the average age of marriage was 30 for men and 28 for women.
With Su, she often heard her friends complain about the burden in her married life.
“Today, women’s economic ability has improved, so they are eligible to live alone. If finding a man to marry and start a family, there will be more burdens, quality of life. also decrease”she said.
The increasing social and economic status of women also makes it more difficult to find a suitable life partner for both educated and high-income women, and low-income and educated men. .
According to Xiao Meili, one of China’s leading feminist activists, discrimination against women in the workplace has also worsened since the relaxation of the one-child policy, as employers worry More and more women are afraid of having a second child and taking maternity leave.
When these issues are not resolved, the pressure to marry and have children that the government places on young women further alienates them from marriage.
“The government needs to change the way of thinking and the method of encouraging women to give birth in terms of protecting women’s rights. They can’t see a woman’s uterus as a faucet, open it when it’s open, and lock it when it’s open. lock up”Xiao said.
