According to the survey report of Japan's Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, 47% people "can't accept" others entering their homes. They think that home is a very private space and belongs to their own world. It is unimaginable that a stranger enters the house, touches everything in the house and knows the secrets of the house. Another reason is the problem of face. 35% people think, "I'm embarrassed to ask an hourly worker to help my neighbors see what I can do." In other words, it is against the social code of conduct to ask the nanny for help from hourly workers. I will become a "lazy woman" in front of my neighbors, and I will not have the pride of "having money at home".
In addition to the above reasons, 45% of housewives think that hiring a nanny is a waste of money and a luxury. In Tokyo, if you hire a 24-hour live-in nanny, the monthly salary generally needs more than 500,000 yen (about RMB33,500). In a family that can afford such a live-in nanny, the male's monthly income is 1.5 million yen, and the male who can earn 1.5 million yen is either the president of a certain scale company or a management cadre above the head of a large enterprise. This situation should be similar to our China.
How many families in Japan occasionally ask a nanny (hourly worker) for help? Japan's Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry's "20 14 survey on promoting women's active family support services" shows that the proportion is only 1%, and even 27% of women say that they "don't know about such services". And 70% of women said, "I know there is domestic service, but I can't use it." Why are Japanese people so resistant to hiring nannies? In addition to traditional ideas, there is actually a very important factor, that is, "I don't want outsiders to see my home." As a country, Japan is generally a conservative country. Although I have watched Japanese porn several times, I always feel that Japanese women are extremely open, but the virgin rate of Japanese women aged 18-34 is incredible-39%!
