Title: On Marriage Squeeze of Different Age Categories Caused by Multiple Contributing Factors
Abstract: By presenting three indicators to measure a marriage squeeze,namely,the ratio of excess males on the whole,of excess unmarried ones and of excess single ones,and using data for marital status from the 5th census in 2000,this paper compares the three ratios of different age categories,and analyzes how multiple factors contribute to the marriage squeeze of these male categories.The research result turns out that the actual male marriage squeeze is not the same as the one in the theory which is figured out by sex ratio of the same age groups.It is higher in some groups while lower in other groups.Besides,such factors as age structure,age difference between couples and so on have different effect on the squeezes.
