In Japan, the number of an aging population is increasing. This phenomenon causes that more and more houses remain empty and uninhabited. The state authorities decided to start giving away houses or selling them at a lower price. 

Another perspective

The prices of houses and flats in Norway leave a lot to be desired. Not everyone can afford such a purchase, but a new opportunity is looming on the horizon. There is now an option to buy a home in Japan. The country is experiencing a growing wave of an aging population. This unfortunately leads to the fact that more and more houses are abandoned and uninhabited by anyone. The number of such houses reaches millions. The Japanese authorities have decided that they will either give out houses or sell them at a very low price. A low purchase price may attract many buyers not only from Japan.

Over 8 million empty homes

A 2013 report reports that there are over 8 million homes in Japan that are currently uninhabitable, according to Business Insider. The reason for such a phenomenon is not only the aging society, but also the independent abandonment of the property due to, for example, a natural disaster.

Different thinking

In Norway or another European country this would not be a problem if the young population took over sun or a flat left by older family members. In Japan it looks completely different because people become independent later. Therefore, young family members prefer to move to another place rather than stay alone in a large family home.

Problem with selling

Although the Japanese authorities have now made decisions to sell the abandoned homes, this plan may face many obstacles in its path. One of them may be superstitions. In Japan, it is believed that if a person who committed his life, was murdered or died a natural death lived in a given house, then this place does not bring happiness.

Black future

The current number of over 8 million abandoned and abandoned homes in Japan is terrifying. Unfortunately, the future of this phenomenon looks even worse. It is estimated that by 2033 there will be as many as 21,7 million empty houses in the country.
