For young women, living alone has become a natural choice. Society has changed considerably over the past five years. It’s now relatively easy to be a single woman.

I believe it may be becoming a more natural choice, but I've met a number of young twenty-something J ladies who want no more than to live at home until they become a housewife and take care of the house and kids. It appears to mimic what I imagine the 1950s to be like. But I'm happy that more young people want to live away from the parents. Fending for yourself builds confidence. Everyone should do it. It's natural.

I doubt they want to spend 40 - 50 years of their life was a salaryman husband who comes home late at night, drunk 6 days a week, then demands his dinner.

Its probably great to be single when you are young and in good health, but what happens when you are old. A neighbor of ours divorced when she was very young and had no childred. At 85 she went around asking everyone if she could live with them and she would give them 30 million yen -- no takers...
