Why are so many unmarried?

Of Japanese in their early 30s, 40% of men and 30% of women are single. Why? This chart illustrates shrinking opportunities to meet a suitable partner.image

According to the Asahi ShimbunMay 26, 2006 morning edition story from which this chart is taken, Low income is a barrier, opportunities to meet are few. The numbers in the hearts are the average number of women, aged 20-34, married in each of the years in the periods covered (1970-74, 1985-1989, 00-02). The cakes tell us how they got married. From top to bottom layer: (1) meeting at school, during part time work, or during club activities, (2) through friends or siblings, (3) at the workplace, (4) through omiai, arranged meetings between prospects.  The bar-chart at the bottom shows why men and women say they don’t get married. Again, from top to bottom: (1) Haven’t found the right person, (2) Don’t see the need, (3) Fear loss of freedom and fun, (4) Want time for hobbies and recreation, (5) Not enough money to marry.

  6. Hi
    I live in Wisconsin and havent had insurance in about four years. I am getting married in six months and my fiance’s insurance agent said that I should get insurance now, six months before the wedding, so that once we get married and I get added onto his insurance, I won’t raise his insurance since I am considered high risk since I havent had insurance the last six months or more.

  7. A unit of account is a standard numerical unit of measurement of the market value of goods, services, and other transactions. Also known as a “measure” or “standard” of relative worth and deferred payment, a unit of account is a necessary prerequisite for the formulation of commercial agreements that involve debt.

  8. Cash payments occur at the time of payment. This is the easy case, but payments in other forms can be trickier. Payment also occurs when the taxpayer transfers property or performs services in lieu of making a cash payment.

  9. The first rule of managing your money is Pay Yourself First. This is where the first amount you take out of any pay check is an amount you put aside for yourself or your family - for your future protection. The common amount is 10% of your income. That means that 10% of every paycheck is put in the bank to be used for special circumstances, for rainy days or emergencies.

  10. I often enjoy reading about others in other lines of work who have indeed made their marks thru hard work, stick-to-it-ness and commitment to their concepts, ideas and innovations. Then there are others who fly to the top of human endeavors as corporate leaders and they often seem to be a different breed, but also have the strong desires to win.

  13. We really can’t tell if a person want to get married or not. But if you will settle down at the right age and at the right time. There would be no regrets of your action because the best gift that God will givve you is your child.
