　　“Leftover women” is a term referring to single women who remain unmarried past what society deems as a suitable age for marriage. Generally, leftover women are those who are still single past the age of 27. More and more women are delaying marriage, especially those with high standards for their spouses. This is a common trend in developed countries and developing countries with high urbanization rates. Leftover women are generally highly educated and also earn high salaries, and the term is usually viewed as derogatory.
