Japan is planning to introduce bachelor tax to unmarried people.

Postby Netherrealmer » 19 Dec 2025, 04:52

Japan have a problem with population decline. You know, people do not want to have babies anymore. They will just have a fur baby, a cat or a dog, and that will be their baby. Even married couples are not having babies. And a lot of people do not want to get married because they think it's expensive. So Japan is now trying to make a plan to make being single expensive. They are now planning to add bachelor tax. Everyone who is an adult who is not married will have to pay a certain amount of tax, and you will only be freed from this tax if you are married and have children.

Tax will happen in April 2026. Every adult in Japan who is single and unmarried will have to pay tax that will deduct their salary. And the only way to get rid of this salary is to get married and have kids. Also, Japan is offering financial assistance to all parents per child to encourage married couples to, you know, have condom-free sex.

Japan is facing a population decline problem. Many people do not want to have children. They choose pets like cats and dogs as babies. Even couples do not have children because the expenses are high. Now the government wants to introduce a bachelor tax from April 2026. Singles will pay a tax and parents will be given financial assistance for each child to encourage procreation.

Then the assistance for marriage needs to be good.
Else it would mean public resentment against the incumbent government.

South Korea also have a problem with birthrate, so they are planning to pay US$29,000 to marry couple with children. This is annual, I think. To encourage more couples to have children.

I have seen the documentary of Sue Perkins in BBC Earth about Japan's issue with low population growth. A gov't agency is organizing a sort of Soiree for young single men and women. It is like a blind date of sorts with many participants. The host said that Japan is trying to increase the population growth with more marriages.

Marriage doesn't mean more children, though, because there are so many married couples with no children and chooses to have miniature dogs or have pet cats.

True. Marriage doesn't necessarily mean having many children; many couples choose to live childless. Others choose to have small dogs or cats as part of their family. Lifestyles vary, but marriage remains based on love and companionship. People remain happy without the pressure of having children and enjoy the company of their pets as an integral part of their daily lives.

Well, if they compare it to living expenses. They may still fork out the bachelor tax. It really depends on individuals. Not sure if it's that effective.

Giving people money to have a baby didn't work, and this won't work either. Single people will pay the tax and stay single.

Japan's population decline has become a hot topic in the world. The Japanese government is struggling to combat what it calls a "demographic crisis" where the number of elderly people is increasing while the number of young people is decreasing and not getting married.

The soirees or youth gatherings (known as Konkatsu) are part of the government's efforts to encourage relationships and fertility.
