Youngest Average Age of Marriage
Understand youngest average age of marriage: what the measure counts, how to read it and where to check the source.
Marriage ages depend on whose marriages are included. First marriages produce a different statistic from all marriages, and averages for women and men can differ. Some sources estimate a population measure rather than averaging weddings registered in one year. A comparison needs the same definition and reference period before it can tell a meaningful story about when people marry.
