The reluctance to give up premarital freedom, the hesitation to share family responsibilities and the greater social acceptance of cohabitation are often cited as reasons fro delaying marriage. According to Xu Anqi, of the Shanghai Academy of Social Sciences, the economic pressure of setting up a family is also an important factor.
According to calcudations, from 1995 to 2007, the cost of getting married increased 7 times to 112,000 yuan. But the average disposable in come of people in urban areas in increased only 2.7 times to 11,759 yuan.
A down payment on a self-purchased apartment accounts for half of the marriage expenses and owning your own home is now considered essential for starting a family. According to a research conducted by Sohu.com and Horizon Research Consultancy Group released last week, while 79.4 percent suggest that "only when you own a house and you have a stable family can you think about having a baby."
