Furthermore, in this paper a detailed analysis of the changes is presented regarding the variable `Mean Age at First Marriage of Women and Men`. In the process of collecting secondary data, for the analyzed variable, credible databases have been used which are known worldwide. According to the results the following can be stated: only in case of Europe and Asia there is a significant difference among the years included in the analysis (1990, 2000, 2010), related to the Mean Age at First Marriage variable; in Africa and America the included years in the analysis do not represent a significant influence regarding Mean Age at First Marriage variable.
