We all heard about young people todayDo not value the marriage as much as previous generations and aredilatory Walk in the driveway more and more. There have been a lot of conjectures as to why this is the case, but now a new study published in theWedding and family newspaper says that the decline in marriage in America is due to the "shortage of economically attractive partners for unmarried women to marry".

For the study, CORNELL University researchers reviewed recent data to determine the socio-demographic characteristics of male spouses ideal for unmarried women. They then compared these ideals in the socio-demographic ranking ofsingle men in the real world. And they found that these dream husbands were 58%upper salary, 30% were more likely to be employed and 19% more likely to have university degrees than theunmarried men which are actually available.

The researchers concluded that "important deficits in the provision of potential male spouses" and that "the single person may remain single or marry less competent partners." This situation ofexpectations compared to reality was found particularly important among racial and ethnic minorities, as well as those with low or high socio-economic status. So, basically, according to science, most single people today have two choices: to bealways alone or to be content with less.

"Most American women hope to get married but the current shortages of Mariabble men with asteady job and a good income-rendering more and more difficult, "Daniel T. Lichter, Professor of Policy and Sociology Management of Cornell University and author of the author of the study,says in a press release. "Marriage is always based on love, but it is also fundamentally of an economic transaction. Many young men have little to bring to the marriage negotiation, especially since levels of education Young women are now exceeding their masculine contenders. "

In fact, in 2018,analysis The United States Labor Statistics Office revealed that 500,000 men aged 25 to 34 have disappeared from the workforce.

But since the rise ofWomen on the workforce It has largely eliminated the need for a woman to marry a person with financial security, marriage can no longer be, as Lichter says, "an economic transaction". As an organic anthropologistHelen Fisher recentlyRecountBetter lifeOne of the main reasons why there are so many singletons there today, it's because "women no longer need a partner to support them, so they become a picker."

In addition, the results of another 2018 study published in the journalEvolutionary psychological sciencesuggest that modern women are less likely to choose a long-term partnerOn the basis of wealth and take care of more about personality traits, such as honest,emotionally intelligentand attentive. Can not we all agree it's a good thing?
