What a strange survey. The low income group is basically poverty level.
Low income = less ability to do anything in life, including not getting married.
Higher income = more opportunities to do things in life, including getting married.
This seems pretty obvious. Young men in low income situations are probably worried about where they’ll sleep, and whether they’ll eat or not. Who has time to think about dating or marriage when you’re going through that??
Considering how people like to portray poor people as being dumb and full of kids, it’s interesting to see that reality is not quite like that, at least in japan.
Human connection is a need just as strong as hunger or rest, like it’a almost an accepted medical issue that loneliness causes early death. If anything, having such a low rate of marriage only further harms the low income group more than it would higher income groups
Of course, government surveys help to confirm what we already know, but the agenda here is:
“The survey is part of the ministry’s annual white paper on broader labor issues, including how to encourage young people to start families and lift Japan’s chronically low birthrate.”
If they suddenly want to triple the minimum wage in Japan, they might “fix” this “problem”, but good luck with that! LOL

Yes, it’s obvious. But without surveys or any other kind of ‘study’, we can’t say it’s happening until we provide sources. At least for some people.
