Abstract

According to the data from the National Statistical Department, the marriage rate in Gansu province of China showed a general downward trend in the period from 2010 to 2020. In recent years, with the development of the economy, both urban and rural areas in Gansu have made great progress in various aspects, but the official survey data shows that the level of economic development and living standards are not positively correlated with the marriage rate in Gansu. This may caused by the marriage and love view of youth. These years. Thanks to the rapid development of Chinas economy, the fertility rate in Gansu has declined. This research speculates that this may be due to the new ideas brought by economic development, which have caused some changes in their views on marriage and love. In this paper will study how views on marriage and love affect the marriage rate based on a questionnaire survey. Because most of the existing studies are conducted in economically developed coastal or southern cities, and places like Gansu in the central and western regions are less concerned, this paper decided to take Gansu as an example to explore.
