japan always have many political problem since long time ago . they always keep changing prime minister . the longest prime minister in japan is koizumi .
yes , i cant deny that japan is facing aging problem now . most of the japanese over here are also worry about this problem . and many believe that when they get old they cant get any pension . but one thing about japan is that many company still hire older workers . so i guess it is not that bad .
most of my japanese woman friend already got married , so i cant really comment on that . most japanese woman born before 80s are still very traditional . yes , i agreed that many young japanese start to follow america culture recently .
alot of japanese woman which are working in AUS usually are on working holiday ..as far as i know .
Perhaps a overhaul of the political situation is best for Japan, consider the LDP has been in power for over 50? years. The opposition only hold power less than a year.
Some say the Jap has the perfect welfare system as well, but it need the overhaul which other welfare states like the UK and Australia have underwent, in order to stay relevant.
But one of the fun things Japanese youth can do is to take working holidays abroad and experience life outside the homogenous society.
There are Jap cafes here with noticeboards advertising accomodation, courses and work. Everything is so organised. Sometimes, I find Singapore not as enlightened.
It is also a plus point that the older workers can still find work in Japan.
I think societies change over time, these days in Australia, you see more Asian models in advertisements and people are learning Mandarin, some are still learning Japanese.
