(japan) Ushikubo Megumi

120K0

This is a Japanese documentary literature work. "I really want to get married, but falling in love is so troublesome" "I don't need a husband, I just want children" "Even if I am a lover, I want an AA" "I am happier staying with my parents" "Divorce is a bad debt in love"... These are the voices of contemporary Japanese young people. Japan's declining birthrate and aging population are becoming increasingly serious. However, among young people in their twenties, 70% of women and 80% of men are single, and nearly 40% of them claim that they do not need a lover. What is happening among young people today? Critic Megumi Ushikubo, who coined buzzwords such as "herbivore man" and "single aristocrat," has explored this issue in depth. Through qualitative and quantitative surveys of nearly 600 young people, she tried to find out the truth about the new marriages of young people in today's low ebb of love.
