Jai Japan - #3 - Do you know why many young people in Japan feel life is harder than their parents’ generation?

In the past, the path was clearer. Work hard, stay in one company, and slowly your life improves. Salary goes up, stability comes, maybe you buy a house, build a family.
Today, that feeling is different.
Salaries have stayed almost the same for years, but living costs keep rising. Rent, food, insurance, everything feels heavier. Even saving money feels like a challenge.
Job stability has also changed. Not everyone gets that “lifetime job” anymore. More young people are on contract or part-time work, with less security.
But what really caught my attention is this.
Many young people are choosing to just live in the present.
Many young men prefer spending time with their friends and the same goes for many women.
They enjoy simple things like food, hobbies, time together. But when it comes to thinking about marriage or long-term plans… there’s hesitation. It’s not that they don’t want it.
It’s that it feels heavy. Marriage means responsibility. Children mean financial pressure. And when the future already feels uncertain, it’s easier not to think too far.
So instead of chasing the same life as their parents, many are quietly choosing a different way.
Maybe the system changed, but expectations didn’t.
And that’s where the struggle comes from.
What do you think?
Are young people in Japan really having it worse…
or are they just choosing a different way to live? Share in the comments.

Many people delay their Japan move
because they don’t know where to start.
I break everything down in “How to Get
a Visa in Japan in Less Than One Year”
