A majority of women between the ages of 16 and 34 have never married in Britain as more young people are putting off starting families.
In total, 37.9 per cent of all adults, or 18.4 million people, had never been married or in a civil partnership in 2021, compared to 34.6 per cent of adults in 2011, 30.1 per cent in 2001, and 26.3 per cent in 1991.
When broken down by ethnicity and taking age into account, the “Black, Black British, Black Welsh, Caribbean or African” groups represented the highest proportion of people who have never been married or entered into a civil partnership, while the lowest was the “Asian, Asian British or Asian Welsh” ethnic groups.
“By the late twenties, their mothers might have already married and had children but now marriage holds far less appeal. Part of that thinking will be due to the fact that at a time when young women are in the process of establishing careers or trying to get onto the property ladder, the sheer expense of a big wedding acts almost as a deterrent.
“If they are choosing to have children, they are doing so when they are older. The idea of starting a family in your twenties is now no longer the norm but something of an exception. That certainly doesn’t mean that they are not forming relationships at all. Cohabitation is now perfectly socially acceptable and increasingly seen as common among their peers.”
