π Here's the data on divorce rates in Japan:
As of 2020, the divorce rate in Japan is approximately 2.34 per 1,000 people (based on Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare data). This is a decrease from the peak of around 3.5 per 1,000 people in the late 1990s.
Here's a breakdown by age group:
* Under 25 years old: 0.24 per 1,000 people
* 25-34 years old: 2.13 per 1,000 people
* 35-44 years old: 3.45 per 1,000 people
* 45-54 years old: 2.63 per 1,000 people
* 55 years old and over: 1.14 per 1,000 people
It's worth noting that the divorce rate in Japan has been steadily decreasing since the mid-1990s, which some experts attribute to changes in societal attitudes towards marriage and relationships.
