A broadly ridiculed Japanese authorities thought to woo Tokyo ladies into marrying males in rural areas by providing money payouts and practice tickets to matchmaking occasions has been scrapped, officers stated Friday.
Bureaucrats had envisioned funds of as much as ¥600,000 ($4,140) for girls who bought married and settled exterior of Tokyo as a part of efforts to scale back a yawning countryside gender hole, native media reported.
Hanako Jimi, minister of state for regional revitalization, stated Friday she had instructed officers to “assessment” the plan, and insisted that studies in regards to the dimension of funds have been “not true.”
