Japan's demographic challenges are well-known: It's home to the world's oldest population and has a shrinking birthrate and an astonishing number of single people. And it seems that, despite government efforts to incentivise marriage and child-rearing, things aren't quite trending in the right direction.

According to the Japan Times, a new survey of Japanese people ages 18 to 34 found that 70 percent of unmarried men and 60 percent of unmarried women are not in a relationship. It gets worse: Around 42 percent of men and 44.2 percent of women admitted that they were virgins.

The study is carried out by Japan's National Institute of Population and Social Security Research every five years. The organization has noted a marked trend since its first foray on questions of relationships and sex in 1987, when it found that 48.6 percent of men and 39.5 percent of women surveyed were unmarried. In 2010, 36.2 percent of men and 38.7 percent of women in the 18-34 age bracket said they were virgins. The number of children among couples who have been married for between 15 and 19 years averaged a record low this year.

It's only slightly worse than the statistic I was echoing years ago.

Men and women as well.

Plus very strict immigration. Modern Japan is in trouble in the next 50 years.

MartyStu · Sep 17, 2016

I would gladly render this service to these sad virgin men and women.

How do the Japanese feel about Black guys?

Alpha Centauri · Sep 17, 2016

And sex numbers are always under-reported. Wouldn't be surprised if it was higher.

Good grief.

Sounds about right, that's what animu does to people, then you see these Japanese girls lusting for locals here in Montreal and everything is clear, animu claimed Japan's male population.

Madao · Sep 17, 2016

considering how weird things are there, not surprising.

also, a lot of things against people if they have kids.

JonnyDBrit · Sep 17, 2016

Anime was a mistake?

oh my God, this is hilarious and indeed worrying at the same time.

Who needs sex when you can have all the waifu in the world.

Ferr986 · Sep 17, 2016

And people say sex is less of a tabu in Japan.

Metrotab said:

That's a problem with forming families and kids though. No amount of work will block you to have a quickie.

Squalor · Sep 17, 2016

Japan has but 70 male porn actors for every 10,000 female porn actors.

Shit is crazy over there.

I know a lot of people are joking about waifu/husbando-crap, but this is almost certainly where you need to start.

The sons and daughters of the Salaryman saw that culture and are rebelling against it.

Well, if my experiences with Chinese people is any indication, I would say not that good.

Wish this was the case in America. We need less shitheads reproducing.

We had the same issues with the Panda; once they discovered anime things were never the same.

"They want to tie the knot eventually. But they tend to put it off as they have gaps between their ideals and the reality," Futoshi Ishii, head researcher for the study, told Japan Times. "That's why people marry later or stay single for life, contributing to the nation's low birthrate."

"Yeah... that's totally why I don't have a girlfriend."

Who needs people anyway, just have a close to fully automatized economy with 2-5 million extremely rich citizens.

Icanplaythat · Sep 17, 2016

Do you think this is a social anxiety thing or a fear of intimacy thing? I remember reading there was concern with young people/teenagers watching too much pornography and the realities of sex would be off-putting to them, because of the bodily fluids and so on.

sunshine and gasoline · Sep 17, 2016

The work culture is certainly a part of the problem and fixing that is going to be one hell of a challenge.

"There are only 70 or so male adult video actors," Shimiken recently tweeted. "That's less than the number of Bengal tigers." Among those, the number of regularly working performers is much, much less. "Plus," the actor continues, "there are ten thousand adult video actresses, and with four thousand releases every month, the number of male actors simply isn't enough."

Yes, but girls here in Osaka use them mostly to learn English and find language exchange partners. >_<

Exactly. Mothers getting booted out doesn't help. But it also doesn't help if Single Men are working themselves to death

You don't need to be empathetic towards me.
