HONG KONG (Reuters) — The number of couples getting married in China in the first half of this year hit its lowest level since 2013, official data showed, as more young people choose to delay marriage amid a slowing economy and rising living costs. The number of marriages in China is closely linked to the birth rate, and the decline may disappoint policymakers trying to boost the population, which has been declining for the past two years. A total of 3.43 million couples were married in the first six months of this year, down 498,000 from the same period last year, according to marriage registration data. Marriage is considered a prerequisite for having children due to various incentives and policies in place, such as the requirement for parents to show a marriage certificate when registering a child and accessing state benefits. Many young Chinese are choosing to stay single or delay marriage due to uncertain job prospects and concerns about the future following slowing growth in the world's second-largest economy.
