This study examines the fact that young people in China is under the serious social pressure to have economic abilities whether they want to marry or not, and how they internalize this social pressure. As is well known, modern China has been marketized in most areas of daily life, based on full-scale reform and rapid economic growth since the 2000s. Above all, general attitude that one can only get married if s/he has a car and a house or a permanent good job makes for granted that people must be economically capable to enter the marriage market. It’s very easy to find such a trend in the fact some parents bring their unmarried children’s profiles to public park such as People’s Square in Shanghai to look up proper partners for their children.
The same situation applies to those who do not want to marry. The number of people who do not want to marry in China continues to grow like Japan or Korea. Those who choose not to marry also should be economically able to live alone, not only because they have to rely on themselves when they got old, but also because it can be helpful to persuade their parents.
The demands and social pressures to work hard whether to marry or not emphasize that people should be normative within social norms. Deciding not to marry may seem to deviate from the existing normative attitude, but in practice it means that in neoliberal societies there is no escape from the social norms that people have to work hard.
It has not yet been reached an agreement whether China could be considered a neoliberal society, but this study attempted to examine the characteristics and cultural meanings of Meritocracy through the contemporary Chinese marriage and non-marriage situation.
