Based on the life course theory,this study utilizes data collected by the research group of New Urbanization and Sustainable Development in 11 provinces in 2018 to examine the first migration of rural youth and its influence on their geographical intermarriage circle.This study reveals that"first migrate,then get married"has become the mainstream livelihood arrangements for rural youth,and the time of the first migration continues to occur earlier.And the age at first marriage is also occurring earlier.Most rural youth chose to migrate far away from their hometown to make money while marry someone who lives near their hometown.The geographical intermarriage circle of the rural youth who migrated before getting married is obviously expanded;otherwise,the geographical intermarriage circle tends to contract or become more limited.Rural youth in economically underdeveloped provinces are more likely to migrate over long distances.Provinces with stronger traditional gender concepts prefer intra-provincial intermarriage.There are differences in marriage opportunities between rural males and rural females.Rural males took longer to get married than rural females.The older the age of the first migration of rural males,the farther the migration distance and the longer the migration time before marriage,which promotes the expansion of the geographical intermarriage circle.The findings of migration intermarriage among rural youth provide empirical support for actively promoting in-situ urbanization within counties.
