The data shows that the average age of young people getting married for the first time is getting later and later, which has risen from 28, 26 and 27 years old in 2020 to about 30 years old now. I think there are several reasons why people are increasingly reluctant to get married.
First of all, I think it's because the education level has improved. Nowadays, many people continue to study for graduate students and doctoral students after graduating from college, and the education years of many groups have been extended, which leads to their older marriage age. Some people are almost 30 years old after reading books. At this time, it often takes a few more years to fall in love and get married.
Secondly, young people are busy with work now, and the less time they have to fall in love. Nowadays, the social competition is very fierce, people's employment pressure is also great, and the pace of life is getting faster and faster. Everyone is very busy at work and basically has no time to get in touch with the opposite sex, let alone fall in love. But with more time, there will be more time to contact the opposite sex and more opportunities.
In addition, the cost of getting married is getting higher and higher. Now you have to buy a house, a car and a bride price to get married. With the rising of house prices and bride price, many people find it too difficult to get married, which leads many people to resist marriage. Especially buying a house makes many people feel that they can't afford to get married. If the cost of marriage can be lower, many people will get married.
In addition, the concept of marriage has changed and people's self-awareness has increased. The times are progressing, people's thoughts are also progressing, and young people are becoming more and more conscious, paying more attention to the quality of life, and will not get married just to get married. Many people think that a person's life is also quite good. I think marriage is the final result of love.
These are the reasons why people don't get married so late now.
