[quote=APAULT,260509]Quote: 'One important reason for the increase in the number of unmarried young people is the serious gender imbalance.' This is only true in respect to men, it does not reduce the number of women who marry - in fact it might increase it as women have more choice. The increase in education is one reason for marrying later. Very few young people marry while they are studying and most want some time to be independent after they graduate. I also believe that the lack of meeting opportunities is also a reason for later marriages. In many countries young people go to bars dances and have parties at their homes. These seem uncommon in China. In many countries youngsters who go out in a single gender group expect to meet groups of the other gender, but my young friends all say that rarely happens here. Does it matter? It's a little sad for the young people that they don't have more mixed activity and dating - you are only young once. For the country it is excellent: population control is still policy. For example, if the average age of having children is 25 instead of 20, there are only 4 generations in a hundred years instead of 5 - result a gentle slowing of population growth. [/quote]
