The number of working population in China has continued to decline,the proportion of the elderly population has continued to rise,the number of marriage registrations has declined year by year and the age of marriage has been delayed,and the population structure shows obvious characteristics of old age and fewer children.Generation Z youth,born in an affluent society and enjoying the convenience of the rapid development of the Internet,are the backbone of the youth group.Their concept of marriage and love will not only affect the individual’s marital status,family choice and life development path,but also affect China’s fertility level,population structure,intergenerational pension support system,etc.in the next decade.This thesis takes Generation Z eligible youth in Shijiazhuang as the research object,explores the factors that affect their willingness to marry and propose relevant suggestions.(1)Obtain data through questionnaire surveys and conduct characteristic analysis on the basic information and marriage information of Generation Z eligible youth in Shijiazhuang City.For the privacy question of sexual orientation,we use a randomized answering device to gain the trust of the respondents,and then use mathematical statistics to calculate the proportion of sensitive groups.(2)Using a cross contingency table,conduct a single factor correlation analysis on gender,education level,and whether one is an only child in personal basic information,as well as marriage and love intentions;(3)Using decision trees to segment the population based on basic information,Lasso regression is used to screen variables such as personal basic information and personality traits.Based on multi classification logistic regression,the selected variable features are quantified;(4)Based on a structural equation model,this study investigates the effects of family factors,regional characteristics,and marriage platforms on the marriage and love intentions of Generation Z eligible youth;Conduct a multi group structural equation model analysis of gender based on the model.Through research,the following conclusions have been drawn:(1)Online dating has a high acceptance rate,a wide range of mate selection methods,a low proportion of abnormal sexual orientation,and an overall low willingness to engage in marriage and love.There are significant differences in willingness to engage in marriage and love in terms of whether one is an only child,education level,and gender.(2)The learning or work status in personal basic information is a key factor affecting the marriage and love intentions of the Z generation of eligible youth in Shijiazhuang,followed by age.The younger the age,the lower the annual income,the less experience of marriage and love,the more solitary they are,and the less eager they are to engage in marriage and love.(3)Family factors,marriage and love environment,and Generation Z factors all have a significant positive impact on marriage and love intention,with the order of influence being Generation Z factors,marriage and love environment,and family factors.(4)In the marriage and love environment,men place more emphasis on the expected cost of marriage and childbirth compared to women.In terms of Generation Z factors,the degree of network extension has a greater impact on men.Based on the above results,the following suggestions are proposed: Pay attention to the cultivation of personal healthy lifestyles,and guide young people not to indulge in the online world;Pay attention to ideological and moral education and traditional virtue education,cultivate students’ correct views on marriage and love;Pay attention to key groups,and mass organizations such as trade unions and women’s federations participate in various ways to provide targeted measures;Build a public welfare platform for dating and marriage,and create a positive marriage atmosphere;Build a family ethos and friendly family education methods that are commonly recognized by family members,and improve children’s positive outlook on marriage and love. |
