At present, China is facing a serious demographic challenge, including not only the intensification of population aging, but also a particularly noticeable problem: the significant imbalance in the proportion of marriageable men and women.

Specifically,

The phenomenon that the number of marriageable women obviously exceeds that of men

。

Many people are puzzled by this. Don't men always outnumber women.

According to the Main Data of the 7th Population Census issued by the National Bureau of Statistics:

In 2020, China's gender ratio will be 105.07 to 100, with 34.9 million more men than women.

However, here is the total population, and we are talking about marriageable groups.

Severity of gender imbalance

In fact, by looking at specific demographic data, we can clearly see that the imbalance between men and women is mainly reflected in the generation after 2000.

Pinch your fingers and count. The oldest post-00s are now 24 years old. They are getting married soon, and the problem is coming.

For various reasons, the number of marriageable women is more than that of men?

The reasons behind this phenomenon are complex.

Including the promotion of women's social status, the enhancement of women's economic independence, the redistribution of social responsibility and other factors.

Since the beginning of the 21st century, the number of newly added population in China has continued to decrease and the birth rate has declined year by year.
