Japanese gals don't want to marry temp workers

[Niyusu]

When Japanese girls in their 20's were asked the question, "Would you marry a temporary worker?" in a recent poll, 88 percent of the respondents said "No!" More than 80 percent of those who said "no" in the survey cited "financial instability" as the prime reason for giving the cold shoulder to guys without permanent jobs.

The finding must come as depressing news for young men making up one of the fastest-growing segments of Japan's workforce. Temporary (often called "dispatch") workers number around 2.5 million, according to estimates. In the past year alone, they have increased in number by around 300,000.

Yeah but what is the overall percentage of Japanese women that are even interested in marrying in their 20's regardless of their future spouse's employment?

i guess if this is true in japan, this can also be said in other countries as well...it's quite rational for many women nowadays to think of their future married life as living with a husband who has a stable job...that's why i'm trying hard to find or maintain a more stable and permanent job...
