Introduction:
Japan, once the economic giant of East Asia, is now facing a worrying social phenomenon: low desire. This phenomenon has affected the younger generation in Japan, covering the problem of low materialism and sexual desire. The root cause can be traced back to the collapse of Japan's overall economic system, especially the soaring housing prices and the continuous price of goods. This economic pressure not only makes it difficult for young people to afford basic living expenses, but also drives them to abandon the traditional goal of marriage and childbearing in favor of low-cost places such as Internet cafes. At the same time, the decline in libido is also part of the phenomenon of low desire, and financial pressure and social difficulties make young people lack sexual experience and are more willing to interact with virtual characters or pets than to develop intimacy with real people. The phenomenon of low motivation is further exacerbated by the workplace problems faced by young people, and most companies have long contracts, few opportunities for promotion, and high work pressure. The strict relationship between superiors and subordinates makes it difficult for young people to refuse overtime and socializing, which makes them gradually lose their social skills and marginalize them from society.
1. The source of low desire lies in Japan's economic problems
Japan used to be a leader in the world economy, but in recent years, the country's economic system has been collapsing. One of the most prominent problems is the high prices and prices of housing prices, while at the same time personal wages have not kept pace. As a result, many young people are unable to afford basic living expenses, let alone the burden of buying a home and raising a family. In order to cope with high housing prices, Japan** has even proposed a mortgage solution that has lasted for seventy or eighty years, which has discouraged young people. This economic pressure has forced young people to reduce their material desires and seek a cheap lifestyle, which includes living in places such as Internet cafes.
This situation is especially acute in Japan's metropolises. Housing prices in places like Tokyo and Osaka are prohibitively high, and it is difficult for young people to imagine how to buy a house, get married, or have children here. They spend their days and nights in the hustle and bustle of city life, but they can only find a moment of rest in their tiny apartments. At the same time, some young people are choosing to move away from the cities and seek a more affordable lifestyle in rural areas, which has led to a trend of "youthfulness" in rural areas of Japan. They have given up their stressful city life and faced limited employment opportunities.
In addition to high housing prices, the cost of education and childbirth is also a heavy burden for young people. The Japanese education system requires families to pay high tuition fees, and the cost of raising children is quite high. This leaves young couples hesitant to welcome a new child, fearing that they will not be able to afford the cost of educating and raising their children. As a result, they are more willing to delay or forgo childbearing, which leads to an increase in the ** rate and the spread of low desire.
This phenomenon is also seen globally, especially in some developed countries. Economic imbalances, high prices, and an unstable job market have put the younger generation under tremendous financial pressure, forcing them to abandon some traditional life goals, such as marriage and family, in order to survive in a highly competitive society.
Second, the decline in libido is also part of low desire
In addition to economic problems, a decline in libido is also part of the phenomenon of low libido. Due to financial pressures and social difficulties, many young people lack sexual experience and are more inclined to interact with virtual characters or pets than to develop intimacy with real people. This leads to a gradual loss of social competence and thus marginalization from society.
In Japan, there is a term called:"Herbivorous man", refers to young men who do not pursue women and are not willing to enter into romantic relationships. Behind this phenomenon are both the effects of economic pressures and changes in gender roles. Traditionally, Japanese society has a clear expectation of men and women, with men taking care of the breadwinner and women taking care of family matters. However, as societal attitudes change, young people begin to question these traditional role assignments, and many men no longer feel the need to pursue traditional marriage and family life. On the contrary, they prefer to pursue personal development and freedom.
This trend is also being seen globally, especially in the digital age. The popularity of the internet and social networking has enabled people to set up virtual social networks and interact with others without having to face the complex relationships of reality. This trend has been further reinforced by the development of virtual reality technology, allowing people to immerse themselves in virtual worlds and satisfy various desires without having to face the challenges and uncertainties of real life.
Third, the workplace problems faced by young people also exacerbate the phenomenon of low desire
The younger generation also faces great challenges in the workplace, which further exacerbates the phenomenon of low desire. Most Japanese companies have very long contract periods, limited opportunities for promotion, and a lot of work pressure. The relationship between superiors and subordinates is very strict, which makes it difficult for young people to refuse overtime and socializing. In this case, not only will the salary be difficult to meet the needs of life, but it will also bring great mental pressure, pushing young people to choose to avoid real life, such as choosing to live in an Internet café.
The Japanese workplace culture has always been based on"Lifetime employment"Dominant, which means that once you enter a company, you will end up there. However, in the context of globalization and increased competition, this model is no longer applicable. Young people struggle to find stable jobs and are often forced to accept temporary work and precarious career prospects. This uncertainty makes them feel anxious and helpless, further weakening their desire and motivation.
In addition, gender inequality in the workplace has a negative impact on young women's desires. Although Japanese society has made some progress in terms of gender equality, the wage gap between men and women and inequalities in career advancement opportunities persist. This makes some women discriminated against and oppressed, unwilling to pursue careers and independence. This is also one of the reasons for the increase in the rate of ** in the phenomenon of low desire.
Conclusion:
To change the status quo of low desire, specific policies are needed to address economic problems, including raising wages, controlling housing prices, and reducing the cost of education and childbirth. In addition, it is also necessary to encourage young people to start their own businesses and provide various social supports to stimulate their motivation to strive and improve the current situation of low motivation. This is a problem that needs to be faced not only by young people in Japan, but also around the world, and it needs to be solved by the joint efforts of society and society. The phenomenon of low desire not only affects the happiness of individuals, but also has a negative impact on the development of society as a whole, so it should be taken seriously and concerned. Hopefully, more solutions will emerge in the future to help young people regain their desire and motivation for a more fulfilling and meaningful life.
