The number of women who are not married or dating of the opposite sex has increased 1.5 times in 20 years November 14, 15:59
Analysis shows that the percentage of young Japanese men and women who have not been married or dating with the opposite sex has continued to increase over the past 20 years, especially for women, about 1.5 times. A group from the University of Tokyo announced.
This was announced by a group of specially appointed researchers Haruka Sakamoto of the University of Tokyo Graduate School of Medicine.
Based on the national "Basic Survey on Birth Trends" and the national census, the group changed their awareness of marriage and dating between men and women between the ages of 18 and 39 over the 20-year period from 1992 to 2015. I analyzed what I did.
As a result, the percentage of people who are not married or dating with the opposite sex is increasing year by year. Comparing 1992 and 2015, males increased by 10 points or more from 40.3% to 50.8%, and females 27.4. It increased about 1.5 times from% to 40.7%.
In addition, among men and women between the ages of 18 and 39, the percentage of those who "do not want to have a relationship with the opposite sex" was 25.1% for men and 21.4% for women as of 2015, and those with low income and those with low income. It means that there was a strong tendency not to want dating among people who are not regular employees.
Researcher Sakamoto said, "Love or not is an individual matter, but if you give up on love for financial reasons, instead of dismissing it as a characteristic of young people, you should consider the income and employment environment. It may be necessary to consider measures such as improvement. "
