This has been a thing in Japan even before the population crisis. This has been a thing in other Asian countries besides Japan! What's next? "Japan's economy is so bad, they're using paper for their doors!" Japan's population and economic problems are apparent. Why does CNN feel it needs to mislead in order to punctuate it?
Because "Japan so weird" gets the clicks
Wait… this is a game show??
America's economy is so bad, they use paper for their walls.
And their asses!
It has been a thing in western countries too, just less popular in recent centuries.
Every western news source out there.
We're closer to achieving cold fusion than we are to achieving a newspaper that can write about Japan without descending into "wACkY jAPaN!!" territory.

Exactly! In the article they say that if you're working 70 hours a week of course you won't have time to find a partner.
So arranged marriage. Kay
