Observing the occasional reports on Japan since years myself. The social structure of theri society is so very much in shambles that it is frightening. Many men do not find women. Many young women leave men. Family structures falling apart. Job and economy always first, leaving many workers and low ranking managers living either in their bureau, or on the street, under bridges. And then the shame-issue, preventing that these issues get the wide public awareness that would be needed to make the authorities tackle the problem.
