Question about Japan

What age do Japanese men marry?

Japanese men are increasingly delaying marriage, with the average age for men to marry rising from 28.9 years old in 1990 to 33.1 years old in 2019. This trend is mirrored among women as well, with the average age for women to marry having increased from 26.3 years old in 1990 to 30.6 years old in 2019. Reasons for this delay include economic uncertainty, changing gender roles, decline in fertility rate and increased focus on education. There are both positive and negative implications of this delay - including financial strain due to fewer opportunities available once one does decide to get married eventually - but ultimately it is up to each individual person to decide when (or if) they wish too get married based upon their own personal preferences rather than external pressures from society regarding what constitutes an “ideal” age for doing so.
