In the realm of significant transformations in contemporary mate selection practices in China, Mate Selection in China delves into the intricate interplay of factors that have led to a remarkable shift in the ways young adults navigate the process of finding a spouse. Spanning a period of profound change, from a longstanding tradition of patriarchal families and arranged marriages to an environment where individuals possess relatively greater autonomy in selecting their intimate partners, Blair, Madison, and Fang meticulously document and analyze how recent shifts in divorce rates, cohabitation, and pre-marital sex have shaped the perceptions of young adults regarding marriage.
By exploring demographic variables such as the skewed sex ratio among young adults, which has resulted in an abundance of young males, cultural factors such as the emergence of increasingly individualistic dating practices, and social and economic transformations that have led to the rise of a materialistic middle class, this book sheds light on the complex dynamics that influence mate selection choices. While the traditional influence of parents in shaping their children's partner selection has undoubtedly waned, it is important to recognize that individuals themselves do not make these choices in isolation.
Mate Selection in China offers a comprehensive examination of mate selection within a dynamic and evolving context, making it an invaluable resource for scholars interested in exploring the profound impact of culture, family, and marriage on individual and societal relationships.
