The average marriage age of a Shanghai resident has been inching up since 2010. In 2019, the average age of marriage was 30 for men and 28 for women.

The way people date in China is not that different, only with the absence of the ‘dating’ phase. If you want to date a Chinese man or woman, expect that your partner will ask to be your girlfriend/boyfriend officially once you’ve confessed your interest with him or her. Getting to know who they are, takes place while being in an official relationship with him or her.

I’m from America and I don’t feel this way, but honestly I also don’t care enough to pay that much attention. My view and experience of Koreans from a Chinese perspective is that they are more aggressive/direct, have higher standards, and just more cocky overall.

Surrogacy usually involves both a surrogate mother and a different egg donor. The sperm and egg are collected, the egg is fertilized, then the embryo is transferred into the surrogate’s uterus. The egg donor is sometimes referred to by Chinese intended parents as luanmei, or “egg girl”, though the term is now seen as derogatory by some.

As Millennials reach a new stage of life – the oldest among them will turn 39 this year – a clearer picture of how members of this generation are establishing their own families is coming into view. Previous research highlights not only the sheer size of the Millennial generation, which now surpasses Baby Boomers as the largest, but also its racial and ethnic diversity and high rates of educational attainment.
