In the context of dramatically changing contemporary patterns of
mate selection in China, Mate Selection in China focuses upon both
the causes and consequences the societal changes which have
resulted in a considerable shift in the ways in which young adults
go about finding a spouse. Tracking a period of change, from a long
history of patriarchal families and arranged marriages, into an
environment wherein individuals are relatively free to choose their
intimate partners, Blair, Madison and Fang demonstrate and analyse
how recent shifts in divorce, cohabitation, and pre-marital sex
have altered young adults' perceptions of marriage. Delving into
demographic factors, such as the skewed sex ratio among young
adults which have resulted in an overabundance of young males,
cultural factors, such as increasingly individualistic forms of
dating, and social and economic change which has resulted an
increasingly materialistic middle-class, this book highlights that
while traditional influence of parents in the selection of partners
for their children has been overtaken, mate selection choices are
not entirely made by the individuals themselves. Providing a
comprehensive examination of mate selection within an ever-changing
context, this book is a fascinating read for scholars interested in
the impact of culture of family and marriage.
