Around the world, the average age of marriage varies significantly depending on cultural values, economic conditions, and education levels. In some countries, people marry very early, while in others, they take their time.
List of countries with late marriages:
-
Sweden, Norway, Denmark — average marriage age 33–34.
-
Italy, Spain, France — 31–33.
-
Japan, South Korea — 30–32.
-
Singapore — around 30.
Main reasons:
1. Priority of education and career — obtaining higher education and building a career come first for most people.
2. Economic stability requirements — a strong tendency to avoid marriage without housing, financial independence, and stable income.
3. Personal freedom and cultural changes — in some societies, setting up personal life before starting a family is valued.
4. Demographic and social policy — governments do not force marriage; personal choice takes priority.
The late marriage trend is mostly found in developed countries. These countries have higher life expectancy and longer working lives, so people take the step into family life later.
