About 10 million newlyweds establish new households every year. Many of these new households differ significantly from traditional families. Today women play a major role in the family. The old patriarchal family is being replaced by在 more or less equal spousal relationship. This change was not simply a result of 在nd Chinese laws that stipulate menwomen are equals. Chinese women are receiving more education, are actively employed and are making significant contributions to family incomes. Their íinancial contribution has increased from 20 percent in the 1950s to 40 percent today. 1n some famili臼 it is even higher. Two national studies on the status of women reached similar conclusions: Women hav在 more power in the family. 1n cities, more women make decisions on family matters, a change many Chinese men are happy with. The concept of marriage is changing so that people now marry for happiness rather than to carry on the family line.1n choosing a spouse. many wi1l marry someone they love; otherwise they may choose to remain single. Most people hope to find a spouse who is well.唰educated and consid芒rate. While they value love in a marriage. most people also consider the material well-being of a potential spouse.1n both rural and urban areas, people h在 ve more say在 bout who they marry. 763 China is rapidly changing from the traditional belief 山区 more children mean more happiness to the modern concept of fewer and healthier births. In less than two decades , China's fertility rate has dropped by more than 50 percent. Increasingly, young couples are pos主poning having a child to allow for their own personal growth and enjoyment. Some couples are declining to have children.ln these cases, women gen告rally play a pivotal role; this situation is most common in large cities such as Beìjing, Shanghai and Guang嚣hou. St在rtìng a new household is replacing the tradition of marrying into the man's family. In a traditional marriage, the wÍÍe became a member of the husband' s family. It was even stipulated by law that a wife must make her husband' s home her legal residen出. This meant that a woman was transferred from her parents' home to her parents叩in-law's home, where she assumed a subordinate position. After thξnew law was哇nacted in 1980 , tr班ditional marriages began disappearing in cities. Today , about half of all households are nuclear families; these households promote equality between men and women. In rural areas it is still common for a woman to move into the man' s home when shξmarries. Chinese marriag号s are still relatively stable even though people's ideas and conduct have changed significantly since China' s reform and opening to the outside world. The average age at which Chinese people first marry is b告tween 22 and 23 , this age being som哩what lower in rural areas and somewhat higher in the cities. China's marriage rate Îs high; very few people remain single their entire lives. Most women marry between the ages of 20 to 24. In recent years the divorce rate has slowly climbed, but is still only one-third to one-fifth that of developing countries such as India and Thailand. The divorce rate in European and American countries is 10 times that of China. This indicates relative stability even though Chinese marriages and families ar母 changing.
