Young Japanese adults in their 20s are changing...a lot...in just the past 7 years.
In 2000, nearly one in four Japanese in the Tokyo area owned a car. Now it is nearly one in eight.
In 2000, almost one in two wanted a car. Today...it's one in four.
Today, one in three drink less than once a month. Two
in five of the 30 somethings drink.
It's a 'waste of money' is what the young adults are saying.
More than two in five hang out at home taking care of chores - laundry and cleaning up. Just one in three did so seven years ago.
Japanese twenty somethings have about 64,400 yen ($550) in disposable income each month, also up 4000 yen from seven years ago. However, what they like to do with their money the most (36%) is save.
So, what's up with that?
Why the sudden demographic change in Japan's young people?
Ideas?
