Japanese Want Wives to Get Out and Work

For the first time ever, more than half of Japanese want their wives to get a job (52%).

In 1979, 72% of Japanese were in favor of their wives staying at home and only 20% were against the idea.

46% of men are against the idea of women staying home and 57% of women are against the idea.

Those in their 40s were most opposed (59%), while those in their 70's saw just

38% against the idea of the missus hanging around the idea.

In short…the men are feeling a new for some help and the women are wanting to oblige by joining the work force.

However…85% of respondents in the survey says the wife should still prepare meals.

Uh…because the men are bad cooks?

I don't think so.
