10% at 35yo seems to be fine with me, or even much lower than I’d expect. Id think at least 25% or something

I’d like to see that broken down by gender, see if the male rural population stays unmarried for longer

That graph is wild 😮 Shows how life choices are shifting big time. Looks like younger people in urban areas are choosing to stay single longer or ditch marriage altogether. Wonder how this will play out for the next gen’s social & economic policies. #SinglesRising

Since its by age, isn’t this basically a cumulative density function? The right most age had to NOT be married going through younger ages.
yeah, yeah, assuming the trends havent changed over that time
Please post no graphs without both axis labeled
I could assume its the percentage of married couples declining.
A huge rise n rural marriages between ages 25-26.
The biggest rise is from 28 – 29 for urban.
For towns it’s between 26-27.
I wonder how this was before the pandemic since this is 2022 data.
Only 4-7% unmarried by 38? That seems impossibly small a percentage of the population.
Strange. Yet they aren’t having any kids.
Is it true that only 3.9% of Chinese people aged 39 living in towns is unmarried?
That seems extremely low. In the US [around 25% of people aged 40](https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2023/06/28/a-record-high-share-of-40-year-olds-in-the-us-have-never-been-married/) have never been married. Although that number was as low as 6% in 1980 so maybe it’s possible.
