PSYCHOLOGY TODAY – Japan is leading the pack in the age of singlehood. Three separate surveys conducted between 2010 and 2018 in Britain, the U.S., and Japan reveal that the proportions of women aged 18 to 24 who are currently single were 65.6% in Japan, 62.6% in the United States, and 41.5% in Britain. Yet the gap opens up wildly when looking at the proportion of women aged 35 to 39 who are currently single. The numbers in these surveys were 24.4% in Japan, 16.6% in the U.S., and 14% in Britain. Japan's population shrank by 947K (0.74%) in the five years between 2010 and 2015. 45% of women and 25% of men between the ages of 16 and 24 reported they are not interested in sexual contact.
