How many bachelors will there be in China by 2020?

According to statistics, in 2020, there will be more than 30 million single men in China, among whom the rural population will account for a large proportion.

1. Raising children for old age

First of all, the concept of "raising children to prevent old age" is deeply rooted in rural areas. Many rural people insist that having more boys can provide for the aged.

2. The imbalance between men and women

In terms of gender structure, the male population is 711370,000, and the female population is 6,7871000,000. The male population is 32.66 million more than the female population. The direct consequence of this imbalance between men and women is the bachelor crisis.

3. Gender stereotypes

The concept of son preference is deeply rooted, and many families will think that only men can continue the family incense. In fact, it is a kind of "gender stereotype", because in traditional society, men are often considered to bear more responsibility for making a living and are the main force in the family.

4. Marriage cost

After all, the potential cost of marriage for women will be much higher than that for men. They need to get pregnant and have children in 10, and breast-feed and raise children by themselves, which also explains why women pay more attention to each other's economic status in marriage.

Extended data

Some people think that not getting married will make their quality of life better, so they become unmarried. These people are not strictly single. Generally speaking, life is your own, and your life is under your control.

As long as you feel that any way can bring you more happiness, you can boldly pursue it instead of being bound by some traditional ideas.
