recently, many places across the country have responded to suggestions and proposals reflecting the difficulties faced by older rural youth in finding love and marriage.

"the difficulty for older young men in rural areas to find spouses has become an increasingly prominent social problem. according to surveys, in the vast rural areas of our county, it has become a common phenomenon that there are at least a few and at most dozens of older young men in each village who cannot find a spouse. these older young men are gradually marginalized by the real society because they cannot smoothly start a family step by step and cannot realize the personal life cycle model under traditional cognitive thinking." the civil affairs bureau of fuyuan county, qujing city, yunnan province said in response to a proposal recently.

fuyuan county civil affairs bureau analyzed that the imbalance in the population's gender ratio is the root cause of the problem. according to statistics from relevant departments, between 1980 and 2010, there were about 36 million more males than females born in my country, which means that 10%-15% of men born after 1980 will have difficulty finding a partner.

the urban-rural gap is the direct cause of this problem. rural youth still generally have low income levels, low cultural levels, and low production and living skills. in addition, there is still a gap between rural and urban production and living conditions and economic development. this problem is particularly prominent in rural areas, especially in remote, poor and backward areas.

high prices for betrothal gifts are another major factor that exacerbates the problem. influenced by bad values, the amount of betrothal gifts has become almost the only criterion for judging the quality of a man before marriage. the woman's family often asks for betrothal gifts of hundreds of thousands or even millions of yuan, which makes ordinary rural families feel disappointed.

among the relevant replies, the measures taken by the fuyuan county civil affairs bureau are worthy of attention. for example, the local authorities said that they will promote the reform of marriage customs, advocate obtaining a marriage certificate without holding a wedding ceremony, advocate the abolition of betrothal gifts and dowries, advocate that sons and daughters share the responsibility of caring for the elderly, and advocate that children's surnames follow the father and mother respectively; attach importance to rural education, improve the quality of the population, balance urban and rural educational resources, allow rural populations to enjoy the same educational resources, improve the cultural quality of rural labor, and enhance the competitiveness of individuals in social life; develop rural industries, retain labor resources, allow rural labor to stay in their hometowns to work, especially reduce the outflow of female labor, and increase the marriage opportunities for rural male youth in some areas.

the fuyuan county civil affairs bureau also revealed that it will vigorously develop matchmaking services led by government organizations. first, it will attach equal importance to standardization and development. the government will take the lead in promoting paid matchmaking services, establish a database of people of the right age who need matchmaking services, and allow people in need to share data and information to increase two-way selection opportunities. second, it will vigorously develop international matchmaking services, especially matchmaking exchanges with neighboring countries and regions, and provide a convenient channel for the realization of foreign-related marriages and social integration after marriage.

"marriage registration data in the past three years show that the age of first marriage in our county is getting older and increasing year by year, while the number of marriages is decreasing year by year. among them, the proportion of single high-level female talents and rural young men with poor family economic conditions is relatively high, and there is an obvious phenomenon of 'rural boys can't get married, and urban girls can't get married.'" in july this year, a proposal reply posted on the website of tonggu county, yichun city, jiangxi province stated that the problem of difficulty in marriage and love for older young people has become a common social phenomenon, and it is urgent to build a sound social support mechanism for marriage and love for older young people.
