China’s National Bureau of Statistics records a 3.78-year rise in the average (both-sexes) age at first marriage between 2010 and 2020 (24.89 to 28.67 years), making delayed marriage the modal experience in urban China rather than a deviant choice. A 2021 Sixth Tone report on a Communist Youth League survey of 2,905 unmarried urbanites aged 18-26 found that about 44% of women said they do not plan to marry (versus nearly 25% of men), and 30.5% of respondents said they “do not believe in marriage.” The most-cited reasons were practical rather than aspirational: 60.8% said it was difficult to find the right person, 56.2% cited the cost of having children, and 46% cited the financial cost of marriage. This 44% figure measures marriage-aversion intent, not regret about having delayed — the survey carries no distress or regret rate, so the action-side number reflects how common the delay/skip path now is, not how many who took it regret it.
On the inaction side, South China Morning Post reporting on a CCTV survey found that almost one in five married women in China (~20%) said they regret getting married in 2020, up from 12% in 2017 and 9% in 2012. The survey found dissatisfaction highest among wives currently aged 36-45 — a breakdown by current age, which the researcher attributes to being at the most tiring stage of life, not by age at marriage. A Frontiers in Public Health study documents the lengthening of marital duration and the structural delay of marriage in China from 1982 to 2015, but does not measure satisfaction or regret by age at marriage.
Because the two sides measure different things — intent not to marry versus self-reported marriage regret — the apparent action_dominates gap (44% vs. 20%) should be read with caution: it indicates that not-planning-to-marry is more prevalent than regretting marriage, not that delaying causes more regret than marrying. This entry is flagged proxy_only for that reason. China’s fertility rate, which fell to roughly 1.0 in 2023 — among the lowest ever recorded nationally — is widely attributed to educated urban women’s response to the documented career and personal costs of early marriage and motherhood. Neither figure comes from a direct bilateral “do you regret your marriage timing?” survey.

Sixth Tone report on a Research Center of the Central Committee of the Communist Youth League survey of 2,905 unmarried urbanites aged 18-26. Sixth Tone is Shanghai United Media Group's English-language outlet covering Chinese society. The action-side proxy is the 44% of women who do not plan to marry -- a marriage-aversion INTENT measure, not a regret-of-delaying measure, which is why this entry is flagged proxy_only. The article gives no distress/regret rate; the earlier "28% significant personal distress" figure was unsupported and has been removed. The sample is urban and skews younger and more educated; rural youth face different marriage-market dynamics.

The NBS marriage-age shift is used as contextual evidence that delay is now the modal experience in urban China, not an outlier choice. The 28.67 (2020) and 24.89 (2010) figures are the overall (both-sexes) average age at first marriage, not a female-specific rate; the 3.78-year shift over one decade indicates a structural norm change, not an aberrant pattern. (Verified via Global Times reporting of the NBS census/registration data, as the NBS English portal does not surface the single-decade first-marriage-age series directly.) This source does not provide a direct regret rate; it establishes the scale of the population making the delay choice.

South China Morning Post (May 10, 2021) reporting on a CCTV survey. The directly stated rate is "almost 20 per cent" of married women who regret getting married (up from 12% in 2017 and 9% in 2012) -- this IS a regret-framed figure, not just satisfaction. The survey's peak- dissatisfaction breakdown is by CURRENT age (wives aged 36-45, whom the researcher attributes to being at "the most tiring stage of life"), NOT by age at marriage; an earlier framing that dissatisfaction was highest among those who "married young" was unsupported by the article and has been removed. The earlier "38% of women who married before age 27" figure was also unsupported and removed. The 20% headline is used as the inaction-side rate. URL previously corrected from the 404 article/3156782 to the verified article/3132019.
[2]Frontiers in Public Health — Marital duration in China: Trends and gender differences, 1982-2015
Đã xác minh
Được bình duyệt
Across 1982-2015, Chinese women's single (pre-marriage) duration first shortened then lengthened and their married duration lengthened, with women now spending longer single and longer married than men -- documenting the structural delay of marriage rather than a regret rate.
Trích đoạn
“"The single duration of Chinese men and women was slightly reduced and then extended, with that of men longer than women, showing a narrowing trend in gender difference. The marriage duration of Chinese men and women is lengthening, with that of women longer than men, demonstrating a widening gap in gender difference."

Tính toán
Frontiers in Public Health peer-reviewed study on marital-duration trends in China, 1982-2015. This paper does NOT measure marital satisfaction or regret by age at marriage; the earlier excerpt attributing an "early-marriage cohorts show higher dissatisfaction" finding to it was unsupported and has been corrected to the paper's actual marital-duration findings. It is retained as contextual evidence that delayed/lengthened marriage is a structural population trend, not as a source for the inaction-side regret rate (which comes from the SCMP "one in five" figure).
Lưu ý
The two sides measure DIFFERENT constructs and are not strictly commensurable, which is why this entry is flagged proxy_only. The action-side 44% is a marriage-aversion INTENT figure ("do not plan to marry"), not a regret-of-having-delayed measure; it captures how common the delay/skip path now is among urban 18-26-year-olds rather than how many regret it. The inaction-side 20% ("one in five women regret getting married") is a genuinely regret-framed figure, but it covers married women broadly rather than a quantified "married before 27" cohort -- the SCMP report's only breakdown is by CURRENT age (dissatisfaction peaks among wives aged 36-45, attributed to life stage), not by age at marriage. Because of this construct mismatch, the headline action_dominates pattern should be read cautiously: it reflects that intent-not-to-marry is more prevalent than self-reported marriage regret, not that delaying causes more regret than marrying. The "sheng nu" (leftover woman) social label also creates measurement distortion: women who delay marriage face documented stigma from family, employers, and state media. Both figures reflect urban Chinese populations disproportionately; rural and lower-income women face different marriage-market dynamics. China's fertility rate (around 1.0 in 2023, among the lowest ever recorded nationally) is partly attributed to women's response to the documented costs of early marriage and motherhood on career trajectories. The Frontiers study is contextual evidence on lengthening marital duration, not a source for either regret rate.
