>TL;DR: Dating as a whole is occurring less often between Japanese men and women. Economically, traditional households are not forming because people cannot afford to support the traditionally desired lifestyle where Japanese women become full-time parents and homemakers after parenthood. I hate resorting to stereotypes, but it looks like that after a certain age(I don't want to use the magic word boom*r), people are completely blind to any argument that takes in account the most obvious reason for which people behave like they behave: their economic condition. People can't afford to raise a traditional family even with well paid jobs? This is irrelevant, the main reason people are not raising families the old way is because of tiktok and avocado toasts.
