This article provides an overview of marriage in Japan and explores recent trends in marriage rates, factors contributing to low marriage rates, and government efforts to increase marriage rates.

The decline in marriage rates has had a significant impact on Japanese society with fewer children being born each year and an aging population which could have serious implications for both the economy and social welfare systems over time. Government policies such as providing financial incentives, free childcare services, and affordable public housing have been implemented to encourage younger couples to marry earlier.
