The average first marriage age in 2020 is 28.67 years old!Why is the Chinese getting married late and late

The delay in the average first marriage age has now become a common trend.

According to the "Chinese Population Census Yearbook-20120", in 2020, the average first marriage age of Chinese people rose to 28.67 years. Among them, the average first marriage age of men was 29.38 years old, and women were 27.95 years. In 2010, the average primary marriage age of the Chinese was 24.89 years old, the average first marriage age of men was 25.75 years, and the average first marriage age of women was 24 years.

In other words, in the past 10 years, the average first marriage age was nearly 4 years old. Among them, men's average first marriage age is 3.63 years old, and women's average first marriage age is 3.95 years old.

The average first marriage age in 2020 is 28.67 years old

Recently, the civil affairs departments of many regions across the country have announced the marriage registration data in 2021. One of the phenomena worthy of attention is that the average age of first marriage is generally postponed.

According to the latest statistics released by relevant departments in Anhui Province: The average first marriage age in Anhui Province has exceeded 30 years, and the average first marriage age of men is 31.89 years old, while women are 30.73 years. According to the statistics of relevant departments, the average age of marriage registration in the province in 2021 is: 31.88 years old and female 30.56 years old.

In Jiangsu, the average age of first marriage in Jiangsu Province in 2021 was 27.29 years old. Among them, men were 28 years old and 26.52 years old. Compared with 2020, the average first marriage age of men was delayed. It can be seen that the confusion of the young people has become a social problem that cannot be ignored.

Regarding the minimum restrictions on the age of marriage, according to Article 1047 of the Civil Code of my country, "the age of marriage, men must not be 22 years old, women must not be as early as 20 years old."

Experts said that there are many reasons for the post -marriage age:

On the one hand, the aging of the population is increasing, and the decrease in young people is reduced. The overall population suitable for marriage is reduced, which has led to a decrease in the marriage rate.

According to the data released by the National Health and Health Commission on January 20, women 20-34 women averaged 3.4 million per year and 4.73 million compared with 2020 compared with 2020.

Second, the concept of marriage and love for men and women has changed. In recent years, the cost of fertility, breeding, and education has caused a high cost of fertility, and the demand for marriage has also decreased.

In addition, the lifestyle and concepts of young people have changed. For example, pursuing a variety of life, fertility is no longer a necessity, and becomes a choice.

Behind the post -marriage age delay:

The number of marriage registration is hit for a new low of 36 years

According to the latest statistics released by the Ministry of Civil Affairs, my country's marriage registration data in 2021 was 7.636 million pairs. This is after falling below 10 million pairs in 2019 and a 9 million -to -9 million -to -9 -pair mark in 2020, the marriage registration data fell below the 8 million pairs again. The marriage rate fell to 5.4%, and this data also reached a new low since 1986, only 56.6%of the 2013 peak.

First of all, in contemporary society, both men and women are relatively independent, and they can live a good life with their own abilities. Especially for women, more and more women are pursuing independence and career success in the workplace compared with their marriage and having children. Resisting married and having children has become the "trend" of young people. According to statistics, the total population of the post -90s is 170 million, while the registered married couples are only 10 million, which also means that most of them are active single.

Followed by economic factors. The house is the primary condition for marriage. Although some young people can accept the rent of rent, the rent price of large cities is also very high. Now there are many young people who want to buy a house to get married. Some young people can only choose to postpone marriage because they can't afford a house. In some rural areas, high gifts also make many young people unable to marry. Moreover, the more far and the economy is underdeveloped, the higher the gift.

The third is that the cost of raising a baby is high, and no one is bringing. According to the "2020 Maternal and Child Consumption Insight Report" released by Nielson, the main group of "birth baby" is concentrated in the post -85s and post -90s, and more than 80%is a undergraduate degree. And these families spend more than 5,200 yuan per month, accounting for nearly 30%of the overall monthly income of the family. It is worth mentioning that the parenting of low -income families has increased, accounting for 44%.

It is worth noting that the decline in marriage rate is not unique to our country, but a common phenomenon of many developed countries. According to the OECD data, from 1995 to 2019, Japan's marriage rate dropped from 6.4%to 4.8%, South Korea's marriage rate dropped from 8.7%to 4.7%, and the US marriage rate dropped from 8.9%to 6.1%. More and more young people of appropriate age choose not to get married, and live a life of "one person is full, the whole family is not hungry".

Double innovation low in birth rate and birth population

In 2021, my country's birth population was only 10.62 million, and the birth rate and birth population hit a new low since 1949. The reason behind it is inseparable from the post -marriage age.

At the beginning of 2022, data released by the National Bureau of Statistics showed that the number of newborns in 2021 was 10.62 million, a decrease of 1.38 million compared with 2020, and the population birth rate was 7.52 ‰. Compared with the previous sixty years of the previous sixty years The number of newborns is a new low, and it has completed a continuous decrease in five years.

The number of divorce registrations decreased by 40 % compared to 2020

After the divorce, the two parties will not only lose their property, but also make trouble due to the problems of children or property distribution. Various reasons will cause young people to choose to postpone marriage and not even get married. The "Civil Affairs Statistics of the 4th of 2021" released by the Ministry of Civil Affairs recently showed that the 7.636 million couples completed their marriage registration last year, a decrease of 495,000 pairs from the 8.131 million to the 8.131 million to 2020; The 3.733 million pairs were less than 1.594 million pairs, and the registration volume of divorce dropped by about 43%.

It is worth noting that compared to marriage registration, divorce has two ways to register for the civil affairs department to register and divorce and the court judgment, and mediate divorce. Here are the statistics of the data registered by the civil affairs department and the main body of the total number of divorce.

In terms of provinces, Henan, Sichuan, Guangdong, Jiangsu, Shandong, Anhui, Hebei and other 10 provinces have registered more than 100,000 pairs of divorce. Among them, Henan, Henan, the largest registered population, ranked first with 152,000 pairs of Henan. Sichuan ranks second with 147,000 pairs. Earlier in 2019, 4.043 million couples completed the divorce registration, and the data was 3.801 million in 2018.

From January 1, 2021, the Ministry of Civil Affairs adjusted the marriage registration process and increased the 30 -day "calm period" in the divorce process. The newly adjusted divorce registration procedure includes these five steps: application → acceptance → calm period → review → Register (issuance). Within 30 days after the expiration of the divorce calm period, the two parties need to go to the marriage registration authority to obtain a divorce certificate together.

Expert: Incorporate marriage and love into the education system

Zhang Xiaobing, deputy director of the Youth Development Research Institute of the China Youth Research Center, said that reducing young people's confusion and even fear of marriage. To strengthen the education of marriage and love.

On the one hand, marriage education is included in the education system of high schools, and young people can establish a rational and healthy outlook on marriage and love.

On the other hand, to guide parents to respect their children's marriage choices. The direct consequence of the post -marriage age is the decline in the birth of the birth and the decline in fertility.

Whether it is men or women, every one year old for first marriage will directly affect the birth rate of the population.

He Yafu, a special critic and population research expert and scholar, said that the family is the body cells of social development, and the marriage life is the integration of couples. For today's society, long -term harmonious family marriage is conducive to social stability.

Therefore, the issue of marriage and love is both housework and national affairs. It is closely related to the happiness and social stability of the people's livelihood project, but also closely related to the long -term balanced development of the Chinese population. The age of the first marriage average is delayed.

Government agencies must also promulgate the marriage intentions of various policies to improve the marriage of young people, including unremitting "housing and living", promulgating the current policies that are supported by it to curb the rapid increase in house prices, and their specialty gives a lot Employment of young people. Only to further reduce the cost of marriage for young people can improve the marriage intention of young people. This is also an eternal event for the people.
