Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The high mortality rate during the Vietnam War and the migration of a larger number of men than women has resulted in a situation where there are fewer men available for marriage than women, creating a double marriage squeeze. The other options, such as the Viet Kieu (referring to Vietnamese people living abroad) and marriage gradient (referring to the tendency for people to marry others with similar social characteristics), are not directly related to this demographic phenomenon. The term "marriage bind" is not commonly used in demography.
