Marriage Rates

Marriage rates refer to the frequency of marriages occurring in a specific population over a set period, typically expressed per 1,000 people. These rates can be influenced by various factors, including cultural norms, economic conditions, and social trends. In recent years, many countries have seen declining marriage rates due to factors like rising cohabitation, changes in gender roles, and individual priorities shifting towards education and career. Additionally, attitudes toward marriage are evolving, with more people choosing to marry later in life or forego marriage altogether.
