Data: my country's marriage rate continues to decline
Recently, the Ministry of Civil Affairs released the "2017 Statistical Bulletin on Social Service Development." Data on marriage registration shows that in 2017, civil affairs departments and marriage registration offices at all levels across the country legally processed 10.631 million marriage registrations, a decrease of 7.0% compared to the previous year. Furthermore, according to the "National Social Service Statistics for the First Quarter of 2018," the number of marriages nationwide in the first quarter was 3.017 million, a year-on-year decrease of 5.7%. Comparing the marriage rate from 2007 to 2017, it can be seen that the marriage rate has been declining continuously since 2014, decreasing by approximately 20% over four years.

According to data from the Ministry of Civil Affairs, there are currently over 200 million single young men and women in China. This means that in contemporary China, an increasing number of young people are choosing to marry later or even remain single.
Looking around us, it's not hard to see that there are more and more older unmarried young people around us, and "being pressured to get married" has become a hot topic among young people. Why are young people not getting married?
