Japan's 2007 divorce rate continues 5-year decline

But divorce is still considerably above its level in the mid-1990s, which is when it began a relatively steep rise that was unprecedented in Japanese history.

 

Le nombre de divorces au Japon a enregistré en 2007 une cinquième année consécutive de baisse. A 255 000, contre 257 475 en 2006, il reste cependant élevé, puisqu'en 1995, il ne dépassait par les 199 016. A 2,02-2,04 en 2006 - contre 1,60 en 1995 -, le taux de séparation apparaît proche de celui de la France (2,2 en 2006).

... le nombre de divorces des personnes mariées depuis plus de trente-cinq ans a progressé de 16 % ...

... la baisse du nombre des divorces s'accompagne d'une contraction de celui des mariages : 714 000 en 2007 contre 731 000 en 2006.
