Chinese Ladies Wait for Longer Years to Create a Family

According to the China Youth and Children Research Center, the marrying age of women in 1990 is between 21 to 22 years old, but nowadays, this age has become so young for the settling stage in Chinese women's lives. Nowadays, Chinese women prefer to marry older than these ages, say 24 or beyond, because of more reasons.

One of these reasons is the expansion in women's culture. If Chinese women before were never allowed to work or go out independently, today's females are different; they are more self-governing, as also evident in their successful careers. Competition is strong in China's job market, so women are busy enough to settle at an early age; consequently, ladies focus more on themselves than in finding life partners.

Another premise for this prolonged age limit of getting married is the expansion of the Chinese society, which is generally described as conservative. But time changes everything drastically, so if you will stay in China today, don't be surprised if you hear people chatting about premarital sex openly. Chinese ladies used to marry first before having sex, but today, young Chinese people can move in together without getting married; consequently, Chinese women obtain a choice of marrying a man or not regardless of her age.
