The Study on the international marriage under the globalizing society

日本女性与外国男性（尤其是亚洲男性）的有意结婚数量在减少的同时却在增加。为了弄清这一增长的原因，我们对大约100名与亚洲男性结婚的日本女性进行了深入的访谈研究。可以肯定的是，出国旅游的增加是一个原因。但在日本女性的谈话中，她们一再被告知，她们在日本公司因为女性而受到歧视，日本男性对恋爱很被动。结论是日本对女性的歧视和爱情文化的被动性促使有才华的女性出国结婚。

The number of intentional marriage between Japanese woman and foreign men (especially Asian men) has been increasing even though that of domestic marriage has been decreasing. To clarify the reasons of the increase, we did intensive interview research to about 100 Japanese women who get married with Asian men live in Asia. It is sure that the increase of going to foreign countries is one reason. But in Japanese women's talks it is repeatedly told that they were discriminated in Japanese companies because of female, and that Japanese men were passive about love affair. It is concluded that the discrimination against women and the passiveness of love culture in Japan push talented women to go abroad and get marriage there.
