More Japanese women think wives should stay at home to focus on housework, childcare
June 1st, 2010 Posted in Culture, JapanBy occupation, the number of married women who believe wives should stay home was the highest among full-time housewives, at 55.3 percent.
what’s interesting about that last comment is that, out of all the people who are ACTUALLY staying home time to raise their children’s only HALF of them think that it’s good for the family.
But to put things in perspective from my own observations, the idea of marriage out of love is rather scarce here, and there seems to be a higher percent than in the u.s. of people marrying just to be able to have a family and kids and not really care who they marry.
