Difficulty of Getting Married for Old Bachelors in Rural Areas:——Based on the Perspective of Social Network

在我国,婚姻挤压现象主要呈现于西部贫困农村地区,通过对贵州省2500余名男性对象问卷或访谈调查,从社会网络视角出发,以格兰诺维特的弱关系优势理论与博特的“结构洞”理论为分析框架,借助SPSS22.0等工具,分析农村大龄未婚男性择偶的特点。研究发现:与同龄的已婚青年相比,农村大龄未婚男青年存在自我资源匮乏、社会择偶网络匮乏等问题。提出从规范“婚介”市场、政府搭台,促进相识机会等方法着手,提升农村大龄未婚男青年的社交圈,促成婚姻关系。

The phenomenon of marriage squeeze is obvious in rural areas in western China.From the perspective of social network,this paper combined Granovetter’s theory of Strength of Weak Ties and Burt’s theory of Structural Holes and surveyed more than 2500 male subjects in the poor areas in Guizhou province by questionnaire or interview,using SPSS 22.0 to analyze the characteristics of old bachelors for their spouse choice.It is found that old bachelors in rural areas lack self-resources and social network for spouse choice compared with married men of the same age.This paper suggests some ways to improve the social network of old bachelors and promote the marital success by standardizing the matchmaking service and providing opportunities for the old bachelors to know people of the opposite sex.
