On June 23, it was reported that according to the “China Census Yearbook-2020”,In 2020, the average age of first marriage in China has risen to 28.67 years old.Among them, the average age of first marriage for men was 29.38 years, and that for women was 27.95 years.
In the past 10 years, the average age of first marriage has been pushed back by nearly 4 years. At present, the average age of first marriage in some places has exceeded 30 years old. The average age of first marriage in Anhui is 31.89 years old for males and 30.73 years old for females.
As for the minimum age limit for marriage, according to Article 1047 of my country’s Civil Code:“The age of marriage should not be earlier than 22 for men and 20 for women.”
Experts said that there are many reasons for the delay in the age of first marriage. On the one hand, the aging of the population has increased, the number of young people has decreased, and the population of the age group suitable for marriage has decreased overall, which has led to a decrease in the marriage rate.
According to data released by the National Health Commission at a press conference on January 20, women aged 20-34 have an average annual decrease of 3.4 million, a decrease of 4.73 million in 2021 compared to 2020.
Second, the concept of marriage and love between men and women of the right age has changed. In recent years, the cost of childbirth, parenting, and education has been relatively high, which has led to a decrease in the willingness to bear children and a decrease in the demand for marriage.
In addition, young people’s lifestyles and attitudes have changed,In the pursuit of a diverse life, fertility is no longer a necessity but a choice.
