Abstract

In recent years, based on the Data of the National Bureau of Statistics on the marital status, the marriage rate in China is declining year by year. The change in the marriage rate will bring multiple layers of impact to the society. The decline in marriage rate will lead to a decline in the birth rate and the serious aging of the population. Based on the research data of the Chinese Statistical Yearbook on marital status from 2010 to 2020, and the post-90s group is selected as the research object to analyze the relationship between various influencing factors and marriage rates. Through the standardization of data, this paper analyzes the four influencing factors of birth rate, sex ratio, resident consumption level, and number of students in higher education. Linear regression and Pearson correlation analysis between these four aspects and the marriage rate are carried out. The results of the study showed that birth rates, sex ratios, household consumption levels and the number of students enrolled in higher education were significantly correlated with marriage rates. The reasons for the decline in the marriage rate are discussed and provide research significance for solving the problem of current marital status.
