Hi Friends
Marriage rate in Japan is declining a lot nowadays.
Maybe this is not just Japan, but compared to other Asian countries, Japan leads the way. In the West, the decline of marriage has been accompanied by a big rise in the number of unmarried couples living together, only around 1.6% of Japanese couples cohabit in this way. So in Japan fewer marriages means fewer babies, which is not good in Japan. But why fewer people get married in Japan? Let's ask Japanese Marriage Counselors about that!
Id say its more that Japanese men have woken up to the fact if you get married and get divorced you loose most of everything. Its not just that women are going overseas to study and are waiting too long thats probably only a tiny bit of a reason. The same thing is happening all over the world, marriage rates down and populations arent being replenished except in true Patriarchal societies.
