Something to be proud about remaining single
The growing number of single people in China now can bring huge potential market for economic development,They may worry many of their parents, but the phenomenon has created ample opportunities for retail and service providers.
Many of them now target singles — who often have sizable disposable incomes as a result of fewer family commitments — with products that suit their lifestyles.
There were 215 million single people in China at the end of 2017, accounting for about 16 percent of the population, according to the National Bureau of Statistics. Marriage registrations have fallen every year since 2014, while the divorce rate has risen for 16 consecutive years, according to the Ministry of Civil Affairs.
Personally speaking,we, as the new generation, have grown up in an era when China has made tremendous economic achievements, and we have enjoyed affluent material conditions since childhood. So we set higher standards for life and ask for better quality and unique experiences.Dining, traveling and pursuing activities individually have also become increasingly popular with singles in China.
Compared with the older generation, we are more willing to pay for convenience, entertainment, mental stimulation, companionship and education that will benefit their future careers.
Therefore,companies have seen great potential in the singles' economy.
They have made products of smaller size, in smaller packages or with more divided functions. They have also developed unique and personalized services to cater to the diversified demands from single people.Maybe there will be many advanced nursing homes forming like communities for the old only.Or the need for raising pets will sharply increase.

In a nutshell,remaining single can be the easy way to contribute to the development of economy .LOL!
Hi, this is Xenia. You have talked about something that I completely agree with, haha. Everyone surrounds me told me that people should get marry when the age becomes appropriate, but actually I consider staying single is also a good choice. There are a large number of domestic violence cases being reported every day, if people cannot find a totally proper person to stay along, they should rather remain single but not to get married for satisfying others’ wish. Moreover, just like you have mentioned, “remaining single can be the easy way to contribute to the development of economy.” Therefore, staying single seems to be a pretty excellent decision, LOL.
回复删除Btw, maybe you need to check the using of space next time, since you got several mistakes in the article. Such as “Therefore,companies have seen great potential in the singles' economy” and “In a nutshell,remaining single can be the easy way to contribute to the development of economy .LOL!”
