Divorce rate explosion expected in Japan

I think that increasing the divorce rate in Japan can not be stopped because of three reasons.
First, a lot of women have started working outside and they are busy so it is hard for them to handle their work and domestic homes together. In Japan, it was said that “men work outside and women work inside their houses”that is to say wives should do housework and parenting while their spouses are working outside. That was our culture. However lifestyles of people in Japan have changed dramatically compared to last six decades and the changes are needed for Japan to compete with other countries in the global economy. A lot of women have started their careers in this society and they are working hard, as well as, men. It is good for women to have a connection with society but it is obvious that women getting jobs makes the domestic homes uneasy.
Secondly, as the article already says, divorce once considered a social no-no has gradually changed. In these days a lot of people regard getting a divorce as starting their life afresh. Men and women do not need to be patient any more!
Finally due to the passing of new pension laws by the government, a lot of women who are thinking of getting a divorce will be helped financially. Women who have been working only inside their houses are having difficulty to adjust to society and need some time. Financial help gives them a lot of courage in becoming independent.
I believe that changing the social no-no attitude towards divorce and providing financial help by the government are needed for women to start their careers. I think getting a divorce is one of the choices for people to become independent and it is not always bad to get a divorce .
