Of those who return, nearly 60 percent are women.

China's Ministry¹ of Education released a report saying that 79.87 percent of Chinese students studying abroad chose to return to China to continue their careers in 2014.

中国国家教育部近日发布报告称，2014年有79.87%学成留学人员选择回国发展，统计数据显示，59.16%的女性海归在完成学业后选择回国，这也超过了男性海归回国的的数量。

The reason is mainly because it is relatively² difficult to find a marriage partner in a foreign country.

造成这一现象的主要原因是在海外择偶相对困难。

Blind dates have become increasingly popular among overseas returnees, and job fairs this spring season plan to organize match-making events with dating agencies to help returnees, the report said.

Overseas returnees entering the job market this year are distressed⁵ by low salaries, where the salaries of graduates with doctorate degrees average around 5,000 yuan ($767) to 10,000 yuan a month; and nearly 50 percent of students with masters degrees earns less than 5,000 yuan, according to the report.
