Wealth,SinglenessandtheDilemmaofMaritalInvestment

(by YAN Bo，CHEN Fei)

Abstract: Singleness is a rational choice of individuals and there are three causes for singleness.The singleness probability function can be expressed by the formula.pdnc=d(w,m,r,cy,en).Singleness is closely related to personal wealth.Choosing to be single or to have a family is an individual’s choice to hold wealth reasonably.Urban families face the awkward choice of regrouping or returning to singleness; single people in rural areas face difficulties in getting married.Only the poverty alleviation policy of “economy + geography”can solve the marriage and love dilemma of the next generation in rural areas.The emergence of singleness is closely related to the imbalance of wealth accumulation.The reasonable improvement of social welfare and the proper tilting of wealth to the disadvantaged groups can reduce the singleness rate in society.
