The Influence of Marriage Ideology and Status: A Quantitative Study Exploring Chinese Single Mothers Remarriage Behaviors ABSTRACT Demographic change in China is characterized by a declining population growth rate. What's accompanied is a declining marriage rate, resulting in a fast-growing single household population, mostly constituted by single-mother households. In this research, I collected 60 online survey responses from Chinese single mothers. I used ordinary least squares, logistic regression models, and multinomial logistic regression models to explore the social reasons that prompt single mothers to remarry, an important decision these Chinese single mothers are facing. I hypothesize that marriage culture ideology, gender labor of division ideology, and economic status play big roles in their decision-making. The results show that the intention of remarriage is positively related to economic status, but it is not significantly related to the extent of their desire to get remarried. The remarriage intention is negatively related to single mothers' marriage culture ideology, and the relationship is marginally significant. On average, the more open the marriage attitude the respondent held, the lower the extent of intention revealed. However, the relationship between remarriage intention and gendered division of labor is not significant. In sum, this study provides evidence that for Chinese single mothers, their economic status and attitude towards marriage are important for their remarriage decision. This study also provides indications for the difference in the gendered division of labor between first marriages and remarriages, thus should be included in the current China marriage discussion.
