Young Chinese today: No house, little money, and afraid to get married

Communications officer Liu Maomao shared that she has a special contact list on the messaging apps QQ and WeChat. This a group of more than a dozen blind dates since last year. But she was not at all interested in it. She said she’s no longer “in the mood for love.”

Liu is among millions of young Chinese who choose not to marry or delay marriage.

This situation puts China in a deepening demographic crisis.

According to China’s Ministry of Internal Affairs, the number of newly married couples has fallen to a record low since the first released data in 1985.
