Why is this generation marrying later?

  [Concurrent] Ms. Yao, a citizen of Hefei

  Because maybe I think that between the age of 20 and 30, you need to struggle first, and then you must be able to achieve financial independence first, and then include some financial freedom, and then you will consider marriage.

  I just feel that after getting married, I am faced with having children, and after having children, all kinds of problems will arise.

  [Concurrent] Mr. Li, a citizen of Hefei

  Many people in their 30s are not married. The main reason is that the pressure of housing prices (high) is too great, that is to say, try to postpone it as much as possible.

  I haven't met the right person. I think meeting the right person is more important than when to get married.

  On the one hand, the conditions are good, but it is also on the one hand that she can be self-reliant. She does not rely on others, she can survive on her own, and the family conditions are good on the other hand.

  It’s just that the idea is different. Now young people are more and more aware that I can do it by myself.

  Many young people, he (she) does not recognize that marriage is the only destination of love, he (she) thinks that it may be quite free for two people to fall in love together, and it is also a kind of companionship.

  From the perspective of Anhui, unmarried young men and women delay marriage at the right time, mainly because of cultural, economic, and demographic structure, as well as traditional concepts and employment methods. Especially the "post-95s", it is obvious from them. With the enhancement of self-awareness, more and more attention has been paid to the independent choice of marriage and the quality of marriage, so the phenomenon of postponing the age of marriage is now very common.

  What does marriage look like in your eyes?

  [Concurrent] Ms. Zhou, a citizen of Hefei

  Emotional basis is the premise, what about material things now?

It's very difficult, no matter how good you are in material (in terms), you will still want better, that is, don't get married for the sake of marriage, the result may not be very good, that is, I will wait a little longer, wait until The right person goes and gets married like this.

  I just came here to get the certificate, and when I saw this very popular and upright occasion, I felt that we were really recognized by the law that we were husband and wife, and I still felt it was sacred.

  [Concurrent] Ms. Yao, a citizen of Hefei

  I don’t think it’s necessary or necessary. Of course, marriage is good for some people, so when you haven’t tried it, of course you can try it, but it also needs to be carefully maintained, so maybe I would feel that although marriage is not a necessary part of life, it is also beautiful.

  How do you feel about the rising age of first marriage?

  [Concurrent] Ms. Zhou, a citizen of Hefei

  If we get married later, both parties may become more mature. For example, when we look at the people around us, when younger friends enter the marriage, the problems they encounter are very small in our opinion, and the problems they quarrel are in. In my life, I may not quarrel because of these issues, I will be more mature, and then the two of them will plan the future together, and then I will slowly get on the right track and live my life.

  Speaking of this in our country, it is a relatively long-term problem. If this problem is solved well, it will be very beneficial to our national economic and social development. The population strategy is also an economic strategy and a social strategy. A social cell composed of a family, if this cell is organized well, it will be of great benefit to our society. If we can’t solve this problem, it will bring great trouble to our society in the future. Especially our economic problems, this problem is very important, so in the future this population and family relations must develop in a healthy and stable manner.
