Description: Available data show that Qatari nationals, especially women are marrying late and that a significant proportion of them are remaining permanently single. Given the small size of the Qatari national population and the potential long-term impact of current marriage patterns on fertility and social stability, the government of Qatar expressed concern about the current marriage patterns. The study focused on Qatari nationals living in Qatar and examined the timing of the first marriage for both men and women in order to understand the causes and consequences of the delayed marriage phenomenon (marrying at an older age or non-marriage) in Qatari society.
