研究显示 中国女性如今更倾向于'姐弟恋'式婚姻
A new study conducted by the institute of sociology under the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences suggested that women in the country are now choosing younger men for husbands. In the 1990s, only 13% of marriages were recorded that involved a younger groom and an older wife, Guangzhou Daily reported. The change in the attitudes toward marriage in China are gradually progressing as the years go on. The study revealed that in the 2010s, relationships involving a younger groom increased drastically to around 40%. According to researchers, contributing factors to breaking the centuries-old tradition of Chinese husbands being older than their wives include better educational and employment opportunities for women, and gender imbalance. This type of relationship is very much common and can be found throughout big cities in China, according to Luo Aiping, a family lawyer and the co-author of "Investigation into China's Leftover Women". |
