A new survey shows that only four percent of young South Korean women think marriage is a must.

An academic paper posted in the journal of the Korean Association for Social Welfare Studies on Sunday revealed the results of a survey of 281 single men and women aged 20 to 34.

Among the surveyed, only four percent of women agreed that marriage and childbirth are “essential” in their lives while 12-point-nine percent of the men did.

When asked whether marriage and childbirth are “important” in women’s lives, 42-point-nine percent of the women said they are, a rate that was markedly lower than that of men who said so at 61-point-three percent.

Over 53 percent of female respondents said they are “not important,” more than double the percentage of the male respondents who said they are not at 25-point-eight percent.
