10. Summary of thesis results:
The study has pointed out a number of factors, partly explaining the causes as well as the level of impact on the age of first marriage of VTC Digital Television staff. Thereby, it shows the thoughts of a part of the youth today towards marriage. In addition, the study also contributes to some studies on the birth rate, the age of first marriage directly affects the birth rate, the issue of family planning and housing construction.
Research shows that the average age of first marriage of civil servants at VTC Digital Television Station (VTC) is higher than that of young people nationwide. There are almost no cases of marriage before the age of 20. In the age group of 40 and above, the age of first marriage is earlier than in the age group of 20 to under 40.
There are many factors that affect the age of first marriage of civil servants at VTC. The first cause that can be mentioned is economic factors.
For couples who live near the nuclear family model, far from parents or relatives, with little or no financial support, they will marry later than couples who live near extended family. The most obvious economic support is help to own a house. Many of the respondents believe that owning a house is an important condition to ensure the happiness of a couple after marriage, especially in the current difficult economic and social conditions.
Family and social pressure is also a factor that affects the decision to get married of civil servants at VTC as well as many young people today. However, the level of impact is not large because this group's view on marriage is quite clear. They determine that it is acceptable to let their family complain all day about marriage rather than rush into marriage and live with a spouse that they do not feel is truly suitable.
The research results also show that many officers and employees at VTC choose to get married because they have loved someone for a long time (3 years or more). They get married because they want to renew their love, move to another stage. Long-term love becomes a habit when they often meet, talk, care, and during the entire time they are in love, they do not meet anyone better than the person they are in love with, so the subject decides to get married.
The nature of work is an important factor affecting the age of first marriage of civil servants at VTC. The time a person spends on work in a day is a factor that greatly affects his or her decision to get married. Working at a TV station is a job that does not follow office hours. Most people have to spend more than 8 hours on work every day. Not only that, the hours at the office are very different from office hours. For example: early morning, late afternoon, even at night. Therefore, they have little time to meet other people besides the people they know/love or people in the same profession. For example, there is a channel with more than 100 people, but there are 6-7 couples who love and marry people working on the same channel.
Occupational characteristics have an impact not only on the time each person spends on work but also on their outlook on life. Most people working in television admit that they have quite open thoughts about love, sex and marriage. This is shown by the fact that many couples have sex and even get pregnant before marriage. And it is for this reason, especially pregnancy, that has affected the couple's decision on when to get married.
The study pointed out a number of factors affecting the age of first marriage of civil servants at VTC. Thereby, it shows that a part of the youth today has many new views on love, sex and marriage. The career factor also has a great impact on the views and actions of civil servants at VTC in particular and young people in general on these issues.
11. Practical application:
The topic provides a fairly detailed perspective on the age of first marriage of officers and employees at VTC Digital Television Station. Through that, the topic shows the change in viewpoints, perceptions and actions of a part of today's youth about love, sex and marriage.
The results of the thesis can be used as a reference for related studies on age of first marriage or perceptions of love, sex and marriage.
12. Further research directions: No.
13. Published works related to the thesis: None.
