In recent years, there has been such a trend-being single and not getting married.
This trend suddenly appeared and showed a growing trend. This is in conflict with the traditional concept that "men should be married and women should be married".
In this regard, someone raised a question, why such a trend and tide suddenly appeared in the environment of traditional thinking?
Before analyzing this problem, we need to look at several sets of data.
According to national statistics, the total number of single people in China is about 300 million.
According to the White Paper 202 1 on Contemporary Unmarried in China published by iResearch, unmarried people account for about 25% of single people.
Among the unmarried people, 45% are grass-roots employees of enterprises and institutions, 20% are middle and high-level employees in the workplace, and the proportion of undergraduate education is as high as 73%
According to the data in the Report on Fertility Desire of Young People in China, the number of "Dinks" in China has already exceeded 600,000.
The above four sets of data all illustrate a problem. Modern people seem to be getting farther and farther on the road of being single. All problems have their roots.

The more developed areas, the higher the single rate.
202 1 There is a data in the White Paper on Contemporary Unmarried in China: the total unmarried population in first-and second-tier cities accounts for as high as 55%.
Young people and middle-aged people in developed areas generally have high academic qualifications and high incomes. Of course, they also face the problems of high prices and high consumption.
Just like the four first-tier cities in the north, Guangzhou and Shenzhen, the proportion of older young men and women is extremely high. Especially in Beijing, the number of older women reached 800,000, setting a historical record.
Most young people who can work in Beijing have graduated from prestigious schools, so their ideas will be more open and will not be bound by traditional ideas. Of course, high education and high income are accompanied by high pressure.
There are too many young people and middle-aged people in the working environment of 996. For example, programmers, although earning tens of thousands of dollars a month, have no time or even basic desires. How can they get rid of being single?
For example, in other industries, the salary is not as high as that of programmers, so they will face the problem of "no money and no desire". At this time, being single is the last choice for young people.
The acceleration of urbanization is a good thing. However, when the pace of life is too fast and beyond people's physiological expectations, young people and middle-aged people in that big city will choose to live alone. This is the human face of a big city.

Low desire is accompanied by high pressure.
There is a data on the internet: "57% of the reasons why young people don't get married are related to the living environment of the house."
To put it bluntly, the living environment of a house is a problem of "house and car". These two conditions are the most basic standards of marriage, but few people can meet them.
What's more, young people and middle-aged people are now in the midst of "involution in the workplace", always unemployed and always optimized. Being eliminated at the age of 35 has become a new trend in the workplace. So, who dares to bet on their future?
In big cities, many young men and women over the age of 30 are renting houses and living in pigeon cages of more than ten or twenty square meters. This will make their desires lower and lower.
In this regard, many people will say, why only pay attention to big cities, but not to small cities or relatively poor places?
In fact, with the development of urbanization and the convenience of transportation, there are no people in small cities and small mountain villages today, and most of them are left-behind elderly people. Young people who go out to work will also be influenced by the concept of being single in big cities.
Some ideas are the products of industrialization and informationization. The small-scale peasant society has passed, and the tradition can no longer be applied to the present, so the new concepts of industrialization and informatization have emerged.
The emergence of new ideas is related to the pressure of life.

Both singles and dinks are products of fast-paced life.
The word "fast pace" is mentioned above.
As we all know, people's physiology and psychology must adapt to the rhythm of life in order to be normal. Once the pace of life becomes faster, that person's physiology and psychology will become abnormal.
Young people and middle-aged people in coastal areas will feel deeply about the fast-paced life. Because the economy in coastal areas is relatively developed and developing rapidly, life will be particularly "fast".
Fast-paced life brings rapid consumption of desire. People, as long as their desires are exhausted, will have no interest in everything in life, including family and marriage.
Many people don't understand why young and middle-aged people like to squeeze into coastal cities. Cann't you go back to your hometown inland?
Well, we just need to look at the choices of graduates. The first choice for graduates every year is North, Guangzhou and Shenzhen, as well as some second-tier cities in the Yangtze River Delta and Pearl River Delta.
In my hometown, I can't realize my wish. In big cities, it can't take root. At this time, the trend of "single" in cities will spread. In the final analysis, it is the development of industrialization and informatization that has created the trend of singles and dinks.
This is the product of the development of the times.
