TLDR below :

In Japan, starting in 2026, single individuals will be required to pay a new tax, officially known as the child and child care support fund [00:16]

Many people are criticizing this new tax, arguing that single people already face financial challenges and that this measure may discourage marriage and family formation [00:41]

Historically, marriage and family were considered the norm in Japan, but as the economy has slowed down, starting a family has become a luxury [01:50]

The presenter humorously points out that single people contribute to reducing overpopulation and climate change by not having children [03:16]

more detail below :

What it is: Starting in April 2026, single people in Japan will have to pay a new tax, officially called the child and child care support fund [00:16].

Why it's controversial: Many online users are questioning why single people should pay, viewing it as a tax on being single [00:25]. Some argue that single people already face financial challenges and that this tax will further discourage marriage and childbirth [01:31].

Financial burden: Single individuals in Japan already pay more taxes than married couples due to fewer income tax deductions [01:04].

Historical context: In 1980, the lifetime single rate was very low (2.6% for men, 4.45% for women) [01:58]. However, as Japan's economy declined, starting a family became a luxury, making the traditional family model less attainable for many [02:17].

Changing social norms: Despite the increasing number of single people, some still face societal pressure to marry [02:41]. However, this discrimination tends to decrease after the age of 35 [02:48].

Single people's contribution: The video humorously points out that single people contribute to reducing overpopulation and CO2 emissions by not having children [03:16].
