Japan bars, 50, plan to bear children

Although little - life - style fathers may feel tired of playing with their children, most of them have created sufficient comfort to spend time with their children.

Makotto Aracaki, a 51-year-old professor at the Christian University of Okinawa, must wake up every morning to make breakfast for his 2-year-old daughter and take her to a daily centre because his 33-year-old wife leaves the house before 7am.

Besides the slight fatigue, he also worries if he will remain in good condition, make enough money to pay for his daughter's education and live enough to see her marriage.

Makotto Aracaki devoted more time to marriage than to focusing on his scientific research, but since his daughter was born two years ago, he has placed her primary goal of referring to it.

When I was young, I had so many things I wanted to do, I couldn't have enough time to give birth to children”, he told the newspaper. “Now that I've gained an experience, I can give this to everyone”, he added.

According to the Ministry of Health, Japan's Ministry of Labour and Health, the average age at which men become fathers continues to grow, and in 2015 it has reached 32.7 years.

In 2015 the number of males in their 50 ' s was born 3,357 compared with only 1995, where 1,121 was.

This growing trend includes the first fathers in the 1960s, with numbers marking 95-292.

Later marriages are also on the rise, with average age reaching a comprehensive record of 30.7 for men and 29.0 for women in 2015, wrote the Japan Times”./Periscopi/
