The marginalized single men of rural China

Getting married and founding a family are still key stages in the transition to adulthood in contemporary Chinese society. It is difficult, however, to reconcile the society’s attachment to marriage with the selective nature of the marriage market in rural China, where the number of women likely to be seeking a husband is significantly lower than the number of men looking for a wife.
