M*V 发帖数: 3205 | 1 According to a government survey, 35 per cent of Japanese males aged 16-19
are averse to sex, more than double the 17.5 per cent of men in the previous
study in 2008.
Males lose interest in women they feel belong to many other men; and these
women lose interest in belonging to any one man.
The birth rate is 1.21 per family, far below the 2.08 babies required. Japan
's population is 127 million but that is projected to decline to 95 million
by 2050 and 47.7 million by 2100.
A June 2009 article lists the decline in economic opportunity as a major
factor in the neutering of Japanese men. This is relevant to us. If Japan is
any indication, marriage and family may become luxuries few people can
afford.
The magazine Weekly Diamond "noted that more than 80 per cent of 35-year-
olds in Japan live on an annual income of two million yen - a key poverty
benchmark."
"I don't think the lives my parents had is an option for us anymore,"
laments Kai Ishii, a 26-year-old broker in Shizuoka Prefecture. "I want to
eventually get married and buy a house. I just don't know when I'll be able
to do that, even if I'm still in a job."
"About one third of the Japanese workforce is now casual or part-time, and
confidence in the future is at rock bottom. For many young men, the post-war
dream of lifetime employment, home and family, with all the sacrifices it
entailed, is fading. In response, some have turned their energies elsewhere,
toward the once feminized sphere of consumption - or away from life
altogether.
