From TikTok to the kitchen table, words like 'rizzler” and 'skibidi” are finding a foothold in the lexicon of today’s tweens.
TOKYO: The Japan ese government’s plan to offer city-based women up to 600,000 yen as an incentive to marry rural men was suspended after strong nationwide opposition.
Meanwhile, imbalances in regional development are intensifying the crisis in the country’s societal progress. This migration has led to labour shortages and a large number of empty houses in rural areas. Many schools and hospitals have had to close because of the population deficit. Asahi News reported that a recent initiative offers incentives of up to 600,000 yen to women who leave Tokyo to marry men in rural areas.This initiative was viewed as an expansion of projects aimed at boosting rural economies. In 2019, Japan also offered bonuses to Tokyo residents who relocated to rural areas to start businesses.
