与1993年相比,美国12年级女孩对婚姻的确定性大大低于1993年,与男孩不同,不确定性增加,生育希望下降。 U.S. 12th-grade girls are significantly less certain about marriage than in 1993, with rising uncertainty and declining fertility hopes, unlike boys.

与1993年和2023年调查进行比较的Pew分析发现,12年级女孩结婚的不确定性急剧上升,24%说如果她们想结婚,她们“不知道”,比1993年的16%有所增加。 A Pew analysis comparing surveys from 1993 and 2023 finds that uncertainty about marriage among 12th grade girls has risen sharply, with 24% saying they have “no idea” if they want to marry, up from 16% in 1993. 同时,那些可能结婚的人从83%下降到61%。 Meanwhile, those likely to marry fell from 83% to 61%. 男孩的意图仍保持稳定。 Boys’ intentions remained steady. 女孩的生育愿望也有所下降,从64%降至48%。 Fertility aspirations among girls also declined, from 64% to 48%. 专家将变化与社会转变联系起来,例如性别平等的增加、经济独立和生活目标的演变,尽管研究结果反映的是长期意图,而不是预期的行为。 Experts link the changes to societal shifts such as increased gender equality, economic independence, and evolving life goals, though the findings reflect long-term intentions rather than predicted behavior.
