Abstract In China, where the size of the single population continues to grow, the divorce rate rises, and the fertility rate declines, understanding the pursuit of marriage among young people and analyzing the differences and causes of the pursuit of marriage between young men and women are of great practical significance for promoting marital and family happiness and improving fertility levels. The results of the 2021 data analysis of the China General Social Survey (CGSS) show that: Firstly, young people mainly pursue personal happiness when they enter into marriage. The proportion of those who take traditional marriage functions such as having children and supporting the elderly as the primary pursuit is very low, showing an overall trend from “marrying for family continuation” to “marrying for personal happiness”; and the younger the generation, the higher the proportion of those who pursue personal happiness. Secondly, there are significant gender differences in the pursuit of marriage among young people. Compared with young men, young women are more inclined to choose personal happiness rather than having children and supporting the elderly. Thirdly, socioeconomic status obscures the impact of gender on young people’s pursuit of marriage. When controlling for socioeconomic status variables such as education, occupation and income, the gender differences in the pursuit of marriage between young men and women is further widened. Fourthly, the gender difference in the pursuit of marriage among young people is moderated by marital status. The gender difference in the pursuit of marriage among unmarried young people is greater than that among married young people, which means that unmarried young women have the strongest motivation to pursue personal happiness through marriage.
