Recently, the Japanese pharmaceutical company "Bayer Pharmaceuticals" did an online survey, the survey subjects are mainly 20 times to 49 years old women,
There were 816 people surveyed, but the results of this survey were jaw-dropping.
Only about 18% of women believe they have used contraception,
Of these women, more than 75 percent do not use external tools such as birth control pills.
Instead, "in vitro contraception" was used, with the remaining 82% of women saying they generally did not use any contraception.
In fact, the lack of contraception in Japanese women is not accidental, but a very common phenomenon.
Japan is an extremely backward country when it comes to contraception, and the Japanese government only enacted a law in June 1996.
Allowing women to use contraceptives, in order to argue about whether women can use contraceptives,
Japanese politicians have been arguing for 35 years, and many Japanese politicians have called the contraceptive pill a "life-killing poison".
Relatively speaking, Japanese women use contraceptives a full 40 years later than many European women.
Even today, many young Japanese women insist on refusing to use contraceptives such as contraceptives.
Only a very small number of women of childbearing age use contraceptives, mainly because many Japanese women are very unfamiliar with contraceptives.
At the same time, contraceptives are also prescription drugs, and many women's thinking is more conservative.
Fear that contraceptives will bring various side effects, and there is a great psychological rejection.
And in Japan, many women don't even know about the contraceptive pill, even in college,
There are also very few teachers who will talk about contraception-related issues, and even many people will deliberately avoid this problem.
According to a 2018 university of Tokyo survey report,
Only 0.93% of women in Japan take birth control pills on a regular basis, but
According to 2017 UK Population Board statistics, more than 18.6% of women in the UK take birth control pills.
In addition to psychological rejection, Japanese women lack of contraceptive awareness, and men can not escape the relationship,
Many Japanese believe that contraception is mainly a male responsibility and has little to do with women.
The most common way to disease in men is to use measures such as condoms, and with the continuous improvement of the technology and quality of condom development,
In Japan, condoms have even become gifts from relatives to acquaintances.
And the most important thing is that Japan's fertility rate is almost the lowest in the world.
The aging of the population is notoriously severe, so the Japanese government actively encourages the people to have children.
Contraception is also relatively rejected, and the Japanese government will even regularly carry out some speeches to persuade women to have more children.
Thus alleviating the burden on the national economy caused by population aging.
Condoms are not only lower-cost methods of contraception, but also help reduce the spread of various diseases, including AIDS.
